Tempe, Arizona
Paternity in Tempe.
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.
Plan for parents in different states
If one parent lives in Tempe and the other lives out of state, bring addresses and any existing orders to the first meeting. Where a case belongs and how papers are delivered need review before filing. The location of the child and prior proceedings may matter as well.
