La Quinta, CA - DNA Testing
Experts Say...
Stimmel, Stimmel & Roeser, a law office serving La Quinta, discussed paternity. "Establishing the fact of paternity can be a major factor in a child's life, both psychologically and economically," the law firm said. "A child born to a married couple is considered legitimate in the eyes of the law." The law firm explained that a person's name on a birth certificate isn't the only proof of paternity. "Since there is no requirement that a father sign a birth certificate, a mother may list anyone whom she believes is, or wants to be, the father." The law firm explained that establishing paternity secures financial support and visitation and custody rights. "For a child, at stake is the right to shelter and aid, as well as the emotional and psychological relief in knowing who his or her father is," the firm continued. "Paternity also secures the right to inherit, the right to access personal information about the known health risks and profiles of the paternal family."
