Establishing paternity in Roseville, California
Establishing paternity in Roseville, California, is essential for unmarried parents. The father has no responsibilities or rights toward the child until paternity has been established. Fortunately, establishing paternity can be pretty straightforward. If parents agree about the biological father, they can sign a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage at the hospital when the child is born.
Another option for establishing paternity is going to court and having the judge determine the biological and legal father. When parents are unsure about the child's biological father, they often choose to go to court. The judge will usually ask the alleged father and the child to undergo a DNA test, which involves a cheek swab that is quick and painless. Based on the results, the judge can easily determine whether the man is the biological father or not.
Roseville, CA: Disputing Parentage and DNA Testing
DNA determines everyone's physical characteristics. Some of it we inherit from our mother and some from our father. People do DNA testing to establish paternity because it is an easy way to determine whether two people are related. Experts can decide on a father's parental relationship by comparing the DNA coding of the child and the father.
For example, if the man is unsure about being the father, he can request a genetic test to find out. Most often, DNA tests are done with a cheek swab. It is important to note that courts usually do not accept at-home tests as court-admissible evidence. The judge will usually order DNA testing and provide parents with details about where to go for them.
Establishing paternity holds many rights and responsibilities for the father, but it also has many benefits for the child. Some benefits for the child can include financial support, medical insurance, having both parents' names on the birth certificate, inheritance, and access to medical history.
