The Importance of Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity is a crucial step for Oklahoma families. Legal recognition of paternity opens the door to numerous benefits, including financial support, inheritance rights, access to medical history, and the emotional connection of knowing one’s biological parent. For fathers, it grants the legal standing to seek custody and visitation rights, allowing them to be involved in their child’s life.
Yarborough Law Group emphasizes the significance of establishing paternity — not just for legal purposes but also for its lasting impact on building strong, meaningful family bonds.

Yarborough Law Group assists clients in navigating both the voluntary and legal processes, making sure that paternity is established accurately and providing legal recognition to both the father and the child.
What are the benefits of legally establishing paternity?
Establishing paternity secures a child’s right to receive financial support, inherit property, and access health insurance from the father. It also grants fathers legal rights to custody and visitation, ensuring they can play an active role in their child’s life. Yarborough Law Group emphasizes the importance of paternity establishment for the well-being and security of children and their parents.
What happens if paternity is established but the father ends up not being the biological parent?

This situation requires careful legal navigation to protect the rights of all parties involved, especially the child. Yarborough Law Group offers top-notch legal advice and representation in cases where paternity findings are disputed after establishment.
Can a father obtain custody or visitation rights without establishing paternity?
