The question of "who is the father?" is not as simple a question as you might think. There are important legal distinctions in California relating to paternity. A court action filed to have a man legally declared to be the father of a child is called a paternity action. It can be brought by either the mother or the father. If paternity is established, the court may order the father to pay child support and grant him custody or visitation rights. Today, blood and DNA tests can determine paternity within 99.99% accuracy, and can rule out paternity with 100% accuracy.
LEGAL ACTION WORKSHOP'S 'ATTORNEY-ASSISTED' METHOD:
With our method we can help either the mother or the father obtain a court order to determine who the father of the minor child or children is and obtain orders for child custody, child visitation and child support.
Legal Action Workshop can also assist in the defence of any action brought by the District Attorney's office for the collection of child support.
