California Paternity Lawyer
When unmarried parents have a child, paternity usually does not become a legal issue unless there is a dispute or an issue relating to the child such as child support, visitation or child custody. At the Bez Law Firm, P.C. in Sacramento, California, our attorneys help you resolve these disputes when they arise.
Establishing Paternity in California
The first step of any action regarding paternity is to first determine who the parents of a child are under the law. It is important to remember that paternity has to be established before any orders regarding the minor child can be made by the Court. The attorneys at Bez law Firm, P.C. can assist you through the process of establishing paternity whether you are seeking to establish who the father is or trying to deny parentage. Once paternity is established, our lawyers can guide you through the issues of child custody and visitation and child support.
Parental Rights and The Child's Best Interests
In the past, paternity actions generally dealt with mothers trying to enforce child support orders. However, as the times have changed so has the nature and dynamics of what makes up a family. At the Bez Law Firm, P.C., we have both the knowledge and experience to help any loving parent in almost any situation. Generally, any persons, including LGBT couples, may have standing to seek to be declared parent. At the Bez Law Firm, P.C., you will find non-judgmental attorneys who believe that everyone should have the right to parent his/her child. The key to remember is that every parentage action exists to make sure the best interests of the child are being met.
Every parent should know that establishing paternity is much easier early on than it is years later. It is even possible to establish paternity before the baby is born.
