When Panama City resident Loismay Collier was in her 20s, she grew curious about the identity of her birth father. After receiving a DNA test as a gift from her husband, she learned that she was a match with several close cousins. After speaking to them and eventually taking her search to social media she eventually connected with Jason Ferriera. When a DNA test confirmed he was her sibling, all of the parts started to come together. The two have now met in person and look forward to continuing to develop their relationship. Reflecting on the experience, Collier said, "Nothing has felt better than having that wholeness in my life."
Why Establish Paternity in Panama City?
Establishing a child's paternity is important for a wide range of reasons. According to experts at the Panama City-based Seaton Law Offices, when a child is born to married parents, both the mother and father have the same legal rights and responsibilities. However, when a child's parents are unmarried, the mother has full responsibility until legal paternity has been established. She has sole custody and can make all decisions regarding the child. The child's father is not responsible for paying child support and cannot legally request custody or visitation rights or have a say in how the child is raised.
