Help from a Certified Family Law Specialist

Establishing a Paternity Test

If you need legal assistance with a family law case, you have come to the right place. At the Law Offices of Kenneth U. Reyes, P.C., Our attorneys have the legal resources and insight required to handle these kinds of cases. With 25 years of combined experience and countless satisfied clients behind us, we can help you, regardless of whether you are a father interested in assuming your paternity rights or you are a mother who wishes to petition for child support.

Can You Sue for False Paternity in California?

Yes, a man can sue the child's mother if she lied about him being the father. According to the statute of limitations in California, filing a petition to disestablish paternity is five years. Therefore, a woman has a legal obligation to tell the correct man he is the child's father.

Our firm can help you establish paternity under the following circumstances:

  • Acknowledged father: The man admits paternity/ parents agree on paternity.
  • Presumed father: The man agrees to give the child his last name on birth certificate; the man was married to the mother when the child was born or at the time the child was conceived; the man welcomed the child into his home.
  • Alleged father: An unmarried man who impregnates a woman.

Take the first step by scheduling an appointment with our legal team. Call (213) 798-4854 today.
