  1. Establishing the paternity of a child is vitally important. Paternity is an important aspect of divorce and separation cases, particularly concerning child support and child custody.

  2. Understanding the importance of establishing paternity Paternity is an important concept because it shapes so much of what it means for a child. In California, the law automatically assumes that a husband is a child’s father if that child is born to a married couple.

  3. Will a DNA test be required? In the instances described above, a DNA test will not likely be required. However, there are situations in which one may be necessary. This could include if: ● The alleged father is not providing for the child or is denying he is the father. ● A man believes he is the father of a child and wants parental rights. With help from an attorney, you will be able to petition the family court to order a DNA test.

  4. Where can problems arise by not establishing paternity? California law requires that both parents contribute to their child’s well-being. Establishing a child’s paternity ensures that both the parents’ and child’s rights are upheld. If a couple is married, the child is likely to have support from both parents.
