Using Complaints to Establish Parental Relationship (Previously called "Paternity Actions") to Establish Child Support and Custody
In this day and age, it is not uncommon for a child to be born to unmarried parents. In these situations, either parent may need a Complaint to Establish Parental Relationship (previously called a Paternity Action) to help establish a claim for child support or child custody.

Establishing Parental Relationships
