Parentage and Guardianship
“Marriage isn’t the only pathway to parenthood. Parentage cases help unmarried parents define their rights with respect to their children ... while Guardianship cases can help relatives better the lives of children while giving the children’s parents the opportunity to improve their own lives.”
– Stephanie White
