Why Is It Important to Establish Paternity?
Establishing legal paternity is a crucial step for both mothers and fathers in Alabama. This process provides a formal legal connection between a child and their biological father, ensuring the father's rights and responsibilities. While it may seem like a straightforward process, the consequences of not establishing paternity can be significant.
One of the primary benefits of establishing legal paternity is the creation of a legal relationship between the father and child. This relationship grants the father the right to pursue child custody, which ensures that the father has the opportunity to build a meaningful bond with their child.
Establishing paternity can also have significant financial implications. It allows the father to contribute to the child's support, including child support payments and health insurance coverage. This can help ensure the child's well-being and financial security.
Is Alabama a Mothers’ State?
The notion that Alabama is a "mother's state" is a dated and inaccurate perception. This belief, which suggests that courts in Alabama inherently favor mothers in custody disputes, is rooted in outdated societal norms. While it may have been true in the past, modern legal frameworks and societal shifts have significantly altered the landscape of family law.
Alabama, like most states, recognizes the importance of both parents in a child's life. Unmarried and married fathers have equal rights to spend time with their children and play a meaningful role in their upbringing. The courts are now more focused on determining what is in the best interests of the child rather than adhering to outdated gender stereotypes.
Custody arrangements in Alabama are based on factors such as the parents' ability to provide a stable home environment, their commitment to co-parenting, the child's preferences (if they are of age), and the overall well-being of the child. These considerations ensure that both parents have a fair opportunity to contribute to their child's life, regardless of their marital status or gender.

“She went above and beyond”
Due to a misunderstanding, a warrant was issued in Alabama, even though we live in Virginia and hadn't been to Alabama for many years. We were apprehensive about the possibility of traveling to Alabama during these uncertain times. Luckily, Ms. Robinson was able to quickly and professionally interact with local law enforcement and the district attorney's office to get the case dismissed without us having to be there. Throughout her handling of the case, she went above and beyond to make sure we were aware she was doing everything in her power to assist us. We are deeply appreciative of her and her efforts and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing representation.- Lynn -
“Amazing and highly recommended.”
I contacted Ruth Robinson on a Saturday regarding a warrant that was issued for failure to appear. On Monday, she filed a notice of appearance as my attorney and filed a motion to have the warrant recalled. The court told her they’d recall the warrant and set a new court date. Ruth was very professional, diligent, and went above and beyond for me. She listened to everything I told her, requested me to send her several screenshots and filed the necessary paperwork to get the warrant recalled and a new court date. Amazing and highly recommended if you want or need someone who is passionate about practicing law and treating you like you’re a priority.- Terry -

I trust her completely and she has always worked hard for me. Better than any attorney I could ask for through and through.- Anonymous
