If you are involved in a paternity dispute, our firm can provide aggressive and skilled legal representation.

Whether you are a mother trying to obtain past-due or future child support payments for your child, or a father who is trying to prove or disprove his paternity, our firm will help you navigate the process.

California paternity law entitles any man who is alleged to be the father of a child to prove or disprove his fatherhood through DNA testing. The alleged father is also entitled to legal counsel in any paternity legal proceeding where fatherhood is to be decided and child support payments set per California guidelines. In some cases, the alleged father is seeking child custody as well, and the court can award custody to either parent, based on the circumstances, the parenting capabilities of the parties involved, and what parenting patterns have been established at the time the paternity suit is filed.
