Paternity, child custody, and child support can be addressed all in one hearing or
the matters can be scheduled for hearings on different dates. You have the legal right to counter claim
or plead original matters not of a counter claim. You should obtain an attorney. The longer you wait the more difficult it may
be to obtain an attorney let alone one at a reasonable cost.
