Paternity Issues in Baton Rouge Don’t Have to Be Confusing. We Make Them Clear.

In Baton Rouge, establishing who the legal father of a child is affects everything from custody and support to inheritance rights. Whether you are a mother seeking support in East Baton Rouge Parish or a father trying to protect your rights (or disavow a child that isn't yours), the legal clock is ticking. At Mayeux Law, we understand the strict timelines and procedures of the 19th Judicial District Court regarding paternity.

You don’t have to guess about your rights. With our experienced team, we will guide you through the DNA testing and legal filings necessary to establish the truth and secure your legal standing.

Why Paternity Actions in Baton Rouge? Because Biology isn't Always Law.

In Louisiana, being on the birth certificate doesn't always mean you are the legal father, and being the biological father doesn't always grant you rights. The laws in Baton Rouge courts are strict. For example, disavowal actions (proving you are not the father) have very tight deadlines. Missing a deadline in the 19th JDC can leave you paying child support for a child who isn't yours, or barred from seeing a child who is.

At Mayeux Law, we specialize in fixing these legal discrepancies. We help clients in Baton Rouge align the biological reality with the legal reality, ensuring that parental rights and responsibilities are assigned correctly.

What Makes Our Baton Rouge Paternity Services Different?

19th JDC Procedural Expertise

We know the specific judges in the East Baton Rouge Family Court and how they handle paternity disputes. We know how to expedite DNA testing orders and move these cases through the local docket efficiently.

Disavowal Specialists

Disavowal is a niche area of law. We understand the specific prescriptive periods (time limits) that Baton Rouge courts enforce, ensuring you file your claim before it is too late.

Compassionate Handling

These cases are often emotionally charged and sensitive. We handle every paternity case with discretion and empathy, focusing on the facts and the best interest of the child involved.

Is a Baton Rouge Paternity Attorney Right for You?

Here’s a simple test:

  • Do you live in Baton Rouge and need to legally establish yourself as a child's father?
  • Are you a mother in EBR needing to establish paternity to get child support?
  • Has a child been born during your marriage in Baton Rouge that you believe is not yours?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, Mayeux Law is the right choice for you. We are ready to help you find the truth.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Schedule Your Free Consultation: Call us or fill out our form. We will review the birth dates and facts to see if you are within the legal time limits to file in East Baton Rouge.
  2. Filing the Action: We file the Petition to Establish Paternity or Action for Disavowal in the 19th JDC.
  3. DNA Testing: We coordinate court-admissible DNA testing with approved labs in the Baton Rouge area.
  4. Legal Determination: We present the results to the court to obtain a judgment that legally establishes (or removes) parental rights and updates the birth certificate.
