got served a summons to appear in court because my exboyfriend wants to establish paternity on our son. should i ask for a lawyer at the beginning of court?
Answer
You will not be provided with free counsel in a paternity action. In the State of NY family court, you can seek a public defender if you are (1) seeking/defending in a custody action, (2) facing a willfulness finding in a support matter, (3) seeking/defendant in a family offense matter.
If you wish to hire private counsel, you can give me a call at (212) 385-1373. I only practice within the boroughs of New York City and the County of Nassau.
