Oxnard, California - DNA Testing
Establishing Paternity in Oxnard, CA
In the state of California, when a child is born to two Oxnard parents, no additional paternity steps must be taken as state law automatically considers the husband as the biological father. On the other hand, if an Oxnard couple is unmarried at the time of their child's birth, the two will need to properly establish paternity in the state of California for a father to receive paternal rights.
The simplest method for Oxnard parents to establish paternity is through the completion of an Acknowledgment of Paternity. This legally binding document is used to declare the child's biological father, grant him paternal rights, and provide the ability to place his name on the birth certificate. The acknowledgment will be presented for completion at the hospital following a child's birth, but can also be completed at a later date through a Ventura County Child Support Services Office.igating Difficult Paternity Establishments in Oxnard, CA
In certain instances, an Oxnard parent may have a bit of uncertainty over the identity of their child's biological father. Failure to accurately determine paternity prior to the voluntary establishment of paternity could result in legal complications later down the line. Complications can include difficulty removing child support obligations for the child from the previously presumed father.
If either parent has doubts over a child's correct paternity, it's important to seek DNA paternity testing prior to the establishment of paternity. If a parent refuses to complete DNA testing, a petition to establish paternity can be filed through Ventura County Family Court, where a judge can issue a summons to the opposing party to complete DNA testing to establish paternity.
Experts in Oxnard, CA Say…
Once two Oxnard parents have completed DNA testing to properly determine a child's biological father and legally establish paternity, the two may find themselves back in court to establish a child custody agreement. According to Oxnard Family Law Attorney Frederick Seigenfeld, California family courts determine child custody arrangements based on the best interests of the child. A court will assess both parents on various factors, such as drug abuse history, criminal record, and living situations, to develop an agreement that meets a child's needs.
