In Livingston Parish, establishing legal fatherhood is critical for custody, support, and inheritance rights. Whether you are a mother in Watson needing support or a father in Denham Springs trying to protect your rights (or disavow a child that isn't yours), strict legal timelines apply. At Mayeux Law, we understand the procedures of the 21st Judicial District Court regarding paternity and disavowal.
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 Livingston Parish.
Louisiana law is strict: being on the birth certificate doesn't always grant rights, and not being on it doesn't always absolve responsibility. In the 21st JDC, disavowal actions (proving you are not the father) have very tight deadlines (prescriptive periods). Missing a deadline can leave you paying child support for a child who isn't yours.
At Mayeux Law, we specialize in correcting these legal records. We help Denham Springs clients align biological reality with legal reality, ensuring rights and responsibilities are assigned correctly.
