Establishing Paternity & Parental Responsibility In Orange County
You can file a petition in a California court to establish your child's paternity. Paternity action can also be initiated by the Department of Child Support Services in order to seek child support for a child. To establish who the father is, the court can order a DNA test. Although this conclusively proves who the biological father of the child is, it doesn't give him legal rights like:
- Child custody
- Child visitation
- Taking the child on vacations
It's only when parental responsibility has been established that the father can enjoy the rights and privileges of contact. We advise and guide you through different steps of paternity action, to make sure that you child knows the name of his/her father.
