Paternity Attorney Jeffrey Novack works diligently to ensure paternity is legally established and the rights of the client are protected. Serving clients from two Novack Law Office locations in San Diego and Riverside County, we recognize that each parent has the right to be an important part of their child’s life. It is likewise true that parental duty includes providing the financial support the child needs.

In California, paternity is referred to as “parentage.” When a couple was married at the time the child was born, the law assumes the husband to be the father. However, parentage may need to be established if the baby was born to unmarried parents. If the father of a child is unknown, it can be difficult to ensure that the proper child support and child custody orders are created.

Establishing the paternity of a child born to unmarried parents can have many benefits to everyone involved. It is usually advisable to prove paternity as soon as possible. Regardless of the reason an individual seeks to legally establish parentage, there are various testing methods and legal means that can be used to do this.

One type of DNA paternity testing starts with taking simple cheek-swab samples from the child and father. Once the DNA testing has been completed and the results are in, the parents are able to move on with creating any necessary child support, visitation, or custody orders.

It is vitally important that each parent be involved as much as possible in the child’s life and contribute to providing the care that is needed. When the parent of a child is properly established, this not only gives parental rights to the father, but also ensures the proper individual is assigned responsibility for any child support.
