Burbank, California - DNA Testing
Establishing Paternity in Burbank, CA
Unmarried mothers in Burbank automatically get full custody of the child. For a father to obtain any parental rights, paternity must be established. Until paternity is legally established, the mother cannot collect child support and does not have to include the father in decision-making regarding the child. Once paternity is established, fathers can obtain legal custody and visitation rights, access the child's medical records, and sign documents on the child's behalf. Paternity benefits the child by granting access to benefits, such as life insurance, veterans benefits, or social security.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Burbank, CA
Unmarried Burbank, CA parents can establish paternity voluntarily by signing a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage form. The form should only be signed if paternity is not in question. If there is doubt about the child's biological father, the form should not be signed, and DNA testing should be used to determine paternity. In Burbank, paternity can also be established through a court case, and the judge will likely order DNA testing. Once the court determines paternity, custody, visitation, and child support orders can be granted.
