About paternity suit in Latvia
A paternity suit is a court case to establish who a child's father is. Raising a child brings moral and growing financial duties, so disputes can arise about whether a man is really the father, especially after a short relationship. The case can be brought by the possible father, by the mother, or by the child.
How it works
- A claim is filed at the local first-level court, usually where the other party lives. The other party may be the mother or the possible father.
- At the same time you can ask for related things, such as child support or a paternity (DNA) test.
- Strong evidence of the relationship is needed, such as letters, receipts, emails, photos, messages and witnesses. A paternity test can be strong evidence.
- The judge weighs the evidence and decides whether the claim goes ahead.
- The judge cannot force anyone to take a paternity test, but refusing one can count against the person who refuses.

I find the lawyer very helpful, and incredibly patient and kind. Everything is explained to me in perfect English. So far she has helped us complete the first stage of our legal journey, and we will stay with her until the end.

The lawyer was so professional and explained the situation and the way forward in our case really clearly. She reassured us, answered every question we had, and her English is perfect.

The lawyer was very responsive and understanding, given the delicate personal nature of the advice. In particular, I was very happy with how she reached out to the mother to successfully organise a paternity test, as my earlier efforts had been unsuccessful. Her English was perfect and the assistance excellent.
