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.
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.
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 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.
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.
