Establishing Paternity in Seal Beach, CA
Children of unmarried parents are entitled to support from both parents, but they may need to establish paternity before enforcing their right to support. Under California law, paternity may be established in two ways:
- Execution of a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity
- Court order declaring paternity
Presumed Parents
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the relationship between the child and the alleged father, the law may presume paternity. Paternity is presumed under the following circumstances:
- The person welcomed the child into his home and openly acted as if the child was his own. This is also known as ‘parentage by estoppel’. Paternity may be presumed in this situation even if the man is not the biological father for as long as he has always treated the child as his own.
- He married the mother after the birth and agreed either to have his name on the child’s birth certificate or to support the child
- He was married to the child’s mother when the child was conceived or born
- He attempted to marry the child’s mother and the child was conceived or born during the ‘marriage’, even if the marriage was not valid
Effect of Paternity
Establishing paternity in court can lead to rights and obligations between the father and child, such as:
- Custody
- Child support
- Parenting time
- Right to access family history and medical records
- Right to legal documentation identifying both parents
- Right to inherit from either parent
- Health and life insurance coverage from either parent
