Hi, I have a question.
Of course, I'd be happy to help with your legal question. Can you please provide me with more details about your situation?
When someone is committing paternity fraud, is it good to get a lawyer before it happens or after you’ve found out they gave the child the man’s last name illegally?
It's advisable to consult a lawyer as soon as you suspect paternity fraud. They can guide you on steps to take, such as DNA testing. Laws vary by location, so knowing your location would be helpful.
