California Fathers Rights Lawyer
We understand the need that a father has to be a part of his children's lives. We know that establishing paternity is the only way that a father can gain custody and visitation rights to his children who were born outside of marriage.
Without the power of the court recognizing you as the father and granting you custody and visitation rights, you have no legal rights. Without the court's recognition of your paternity, you have no say in your children's lives.
At The Law Office of Dawn Dell'Acqua APC, our San Diego paternity attorney can help you establish paternity so that you can enjoy the full rights of a father under the law.
Establish Paternity With the Help of a Certified Family Law Specialist
Our family law attorney is a Certified Family Law Specialist. This certification is granted through the State Bar of California. To receive this certification an attorney must have practiced family law for a minimum number of years. During that time the attorney must have conducted a set number of trials, settlement agreements and other aspects of family law practice. An extensive examination on the subject of family law must be passed followed by an investigation into the character and reputation of the attorney within the family law community.
Once an attorney has met all of these requirements he or she becomes a Certified Family Law Specialist.
During the petition to establish paternity, the parties can agree to establish paternity voluntarily or a DNA test may be employed to establish paternity. Once the determination of paternity has been made, the court will look to the other legal issues before the court:
- Child custody
- Parenting plan
- Child support
The court will rule on these issues and you will be able to return to court to enforce or modify your agreement if necessary in the future.
