CALIFORNIA PATERNITY SUIT (Unmarried with Child) pa·ter·ni·ty:
Paternity suits have exactly the same financial custody, visitation, holiday, and move-away rules applied to them as a divorce. We always recommend DNA testing to be certain that an 18-year support obligation, that is both financial and emotional, is based on the reality of parenthood. Paternity suits are confidential and cannot be accessed by anyone other than both parents and their lawyers. The same judges that hear divorces hear paternity cases. The same "DISSOMASTER" computer program calculates the child support based on the income of the parties and the amount of time the non-custodial parent spends with the child. Child care costs are extra. The same technology including child psychiatric evaluations, interrogatories, depositions, and financial discovery exists exactly like a divorce. Don't ever make the mistake of giving less importance to a paternity suit compared to a divorce or you will live to regret it both financially and emotionally. Who Qualifies as a Presumed Father Under
First, a man is "conclusively presumed" to be the father of a child if he is both married to and cohabiting with the mother, as long as he is not sterile or impotent. In law, a "conclusive" presumption usually means that it cannot be rebutted. But this presumption actually can be rebutted, within two years of the child's birth, with blood tests showing that the husband is not the biological father of the child. Second, a man might also be presumed to be the father of a child on other bases. He could be married to, but not cohabiting with the mother at the time of the child's birth. A father could attempt to solemnize a marriage to the mother, but have it later declared invalid. Or, he could "receive the child into his home and openly hold out the child" as his natural child. Presumptions are written in such a way that multiple men may qualify as the "presumed father" of the same child. In theory, multiple fathers could qualify as presumed fathers. As such, some family law Paternity matters turn out to be cases of conflicting presumptions. These presumptions of fatherhood are rebuttable. They may be refuted "in an appropriate action by clear and convincing evidence" -- which, again, could include blood tests showing true biological paternity. For the child's sake, please speak with a licensed experienced custody attorney when dealing with paternity issues. J.
