Paternity in Scottsdale.
Establishing legal parentage can be a first step toward support and parenting orders. We review what has already been signed or filed and explain the options for your family.
Review earlier parentage paperwork first
Before starting a new paternity case in Scottsdale, check whether an acknowledgment or court order already exists. A birth certificate, a signed acknowledgment, and a parenting order serve different purposes. Bring all three if you have them so the next filing addresses the missing step.

Gather the birth certificate, acknowledgments of paternity, prior orders, and any papers from a child support agency.
If you have a court notice, an insurer’s deadline, or a document you have been asked to sign, mention it when you call. Keep the full original and send a copy only through the method our team confirms.
