Helping Fathers in Paternity Matters
When parents are not married, it is necessary for fathers to take legal steps in order to establish paternity. If there is no dispute as to paternity, a father still needs to go to court to acknowledge paternity. If there are issues as to whether a man is the biological father, it will be necessary to conduct DNA tests to determine paternity. Until paternity is established, a father has no rights to child custody or visitation. Whether you believe you are the biological father of a child, or you dispute paternity, our law firm will help you protect your rights.
Helping Mothers Establish Paternity
Until paternity is formally recognized, a mother cannot receive court-ordered child support. Under California law, only fathers who are married to the mother are presumed to have paternity. Therefore, if you are not married, our law firm can help you take the appropriate steps within the law to enforce paternity.
