Establishing or Defending Paternity in California
Paternity is a very systematic process in California. If you are seeking to establish paternity, you must petition the courts to order a blood test. Establishing paternity is typically the first step in getting financial support for your child. We can help you file the necessary paperwork and represent you in the process.
There are other paternity matters which are substantially more complex. Men seeking to establish paternity in order to assert rights to visitation or custody, men seeking to overcome the presumption of paternity for a child born into a marriage, men seeking to defend against a claim of paternity ... in these situations, people on both sides of the issue should have experienced legal representation.
It's about finding out the truth and making sure the child in question has the best support — financial and emotional — possible given the specifics of the situation. At the San Jose Law Office of Charles M. Kramer, we help clients in California establish the truth about paternity. We understand how sensitive these issues can be, and handle each paternity case with discretion. Contact our office today to schedule a free, informative and confidential consultation.
Experience Makes a Difference in Difficult Paternity Cases
In most of the paternity cases we handle, our clients' main objective is to prove the truth. We understand the law in these cases and can advise men and women what their rights and obligations may be. We also handle more complex cases, including those in which the putative father is unavailable for direct DNA testing. In these situations, paternity may be established through testing of the alleged father's close relatives. In some situations — especially if the presumed father is deceased — we represent the child's grandparents or other relatives seeking to establish paternity, rights to visitation or the child's right to inherit.
In more complicated situations, the likelihood of litigation can increase. It is vitally important to have an experienced trial lawyer on your side. Attorney Charles M. Kramer has over three decades of experience in resolving complex and high-stakes family law matters. Don't let your child or grandchild be without the financial and family support he or she deserves.
