La Habra, California - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in La Habra, CA
Paternity establishment is crucial for children born to unmarried parents, ensuring they receive the same benefits and legal recognition as children born to married couples. In La Habra, California, there are multiple avenues to establish paternity, depending on the circumstances.
Voluntarily Establishing Paternity in La Habra
The easiest way to establish paternity in La Habra is by signing the Declaration of Paternity at the hospital when the child is born. This voluntary agreement legally recognizes the alleged father as the child's legal father. However, if there are any doubts, many people choose not to sign the form, as it is a legally binding document. In such cases, many people choose to take a DNA test first or to establish paternity through court.
Court Proceedings and DNA Testing
When doubts or disputes arise regarding paternity, many people choose to establish paternity through the court. The court may order a DNA test to establish the biological relationship between the alleged father and the child. DNA testing is a reliable and quick procedure, often conducted through a non-invasive cheek swab. The samples are sent to a laboratory, and once the results are available, they are presented to the judge. If paternity is established, the judge may also determine custody, child support, and visitation hours if necessary.

La Habra, California: Disputing paternity
In cases where an individual wishes to dispute paternity after signing the Declaration of Paternity, certain guidelines apply. If less than 60 days have passed since signing the Declaration of Paternity, then a Declaration of Paternity Rescission can be submitted to revoke paternity. However, if more than 60 days have elapsed, legal recourse through the court system is necessary. Disputing paternity often requires proving non-biological fatherhood through a DNA test. It's important to note that challenging paternity can be complex, as legal fatherhood may still be established even if there is no biological connection. In such situations, people often seek advice from a knowledgeable attorney.
