Do You Need Child Support?

If you are a mother who is seeking child support from your child's father, our attorneys can help you. If the father did not sign a document stating he was the father, such as an affidavit, we will work to establish paternity. Our attorneys will negotiate to have the father voluntarily sign a form acknowledging his paternity or, if necessary, we will be prepared to prove paternity in court.

After establishing paternity, our attorneys will represent you and pursue child support so your child can have the financial assistance he or she needs. Both of our family law lawyers, Stephen Wight and James P. Roche, have in-depth knowledge of the paternity and child support laws in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We will work to get child support and we can help you enforce child support orders.

Do You Want to Spend Time With Your Child?

Our New Hampshire and Massachusetts family law attorneys also help fathers who want to spend time with their children. We will work with you to secure custody or visitation rights so you can help raise your child and be a part of his or her life.
