Sacramento Paternity Lawyers
Protecting the Rights of Unmarried Sacramento Parents
When parents who are unmarried have a child, the question of parentage does not usually become a legal matter unless a dispute related to the child arises. This could be linked to child support, visitation issues, or child custody.
At The Law Office of David A. Martin & Associates, we have a clear understanding of the issues that unmarried parents face when it comes to their children. We believe that parents should be able to enforce their natural rights and that every parent should be held accountable for financially supporting their child. With our firm by your side, you can achieve your goals and protect your parental rights.
Establishing Parentage
When an unmarried woman gives birth in California, she and the alleged father can sign a voluntary declaration of paternity form. Once this form has been filed with the State Department of Child Support Services, the man obtains full parental rights over the child.
If this form is not filed, a party can begin a civil action to determine paternity. In most cases, the alleged father will be ordered to complete genetic/DNA testing.
