Who is the biological father of a child? When the answer to this question is uncertain, it may be necessary to file a paternity suit. The outcome of a paternity action has effects that influence child custody, visitation, child support and other legal matters.

Like other family law matters, paternity issues are sensitive and often emotionally challenging. Our law firm is here to provide you with the compassionate guidance you need at this time. We have extensive experience handling paternity matters for clients in Bakersfield and throughout surrounding California communities.

Representing Mothers

When an unmarried woman gives birth to a child, it is often necessary to initiate a legal process to identify the biological father. When paternity is established, the mother can establish child support orders.

Representing Fathers

If you are a father and wish to establish your parental rights, you may do so by filing a petition to establish paternity. Establishing paternity will give you custody and visitation rights so you can build a relationship with your child.
