Paternity
Law
While
many
states
support
“common
law
marriages,”
California
is
not
one
of
them.
In
the
event
that
an
unmarried
woman
gives
birth
to a
child,
it
may
be
necessary
to
institute
legal
proceedings
to
confirm
the
child’s
paternity.
At
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster,
we
are
highly
knowledgeable
in
the
area
of
paternity
law,
and
we
can
help
to
quickly
corroborate
the
identity
of
the
father
and
help
obtain
the
necessary
court
documentation.
When
facing
the
challenge
of
proving
or
contesting
paternity,
it
is
to
your
benefit
to
consult
with
an
experienced
paternity
lawyer.
Here
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster,
we
can
help
you
to
understand
the
intricacies
of
paternity
law
and
will
guide
you
through
every
step
of
the
process.
The
more
you
know,
the
better
equipped
you’ll
be
to
get
through
what
can
be a
very
difficult
ordeal.
In
the
state
of
California,
both
parents
have
the
legal
right
to
ordain
a
DNA
test
to
ascertain
the
identity
of a
child’s
father.
Once
the
paternity
is
confirmed,
the
biological
father
is
legally
entitled
to
some
level
of
relationship
with
his
child,
either
through
full
custody,
partial
custody,
or
court-mandated
visitation.
The
court
will
also
decree
the
awarding
of
child
support
payments
based
on
which
parent
has
primary
custody.
In
addition
to
paternity
law,
the
family
law
attorney
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster
also
handles
cases
involving
child
custody,
visitation,
and
child
support.
