Protect Your Place as Father With Family Law Experts

When a couple separates, there are certain stereotypes that come into play. Most of the time, the mother is viewed as the parent the child should primarily be with. The father, by contrast, is relegated to a part-time parent at best. At the Law Office of Janet J. Goldman, we believe it is time to change these stereotypes for good.


When it comes to matters concerning children, the standard in court is to consider the best interest of the child first. We hold ourselves to the same standard. We understand the importance of children maintaining strong relationships with each of their parents and will advocate for you and your child to have a continued, meaningful relationship throughout the separation, divorce, and beyond.

Understanding the Legal Implications of Paternity

Having children comes with rights, responsibilities, and obligations. For unmarried couples, paternity is not always guaranteed. By establishing paternity, you are able to establish one’s rights to their child, one’s responsibilities for caring for their child, and one’s obligations for financially taking care of their child. 


If paternity is a concern or issue, we can help to bring resolution and protect those concerned. Paternity should always be a priority for both parents, and establishing legal paternity is always in the best interest of the child.

Janet was an amazing attorney to deal with. I was extremely upset about my situation, and she showed me an unlimited amount of concern and compassion. She explained each step of the process to me and made this extremely easy. I would recommend her to anyone.
