El Dorado Hills Paternity Lawyer Roseville Family Law Group understands that life isn’t always fair. However, we work with you to make any emotional issue as painless as possible. Our caring staff will help resolve your conflict in a simple and constructive way through mediation and collaborative practices. Paternity cases arise when unmarried parents have a child and the issues of custody, parenting time or the support of the child arise, either parent may file a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship. It is during this action that either parent may request orders for custody, child support, pregnancy/birth-related costs and even the surname of the child. Should either party question the parentage of the alleged father, blood tests may be requested; however, there are some exceptions to this right.
It is also important to keep in mind that child support may be ordered whether or not a parenting plan has been determined.
