Los Angeles Fathers' Rights attorney

If so, it is important that you become aware of your rights as a father, and talk to our experienced Beverly Hills fathers' rights attorneys at Stolar Law Group who can fight for those rights.

Unmarried Fathers' rights in California

As an unmarried father in California, you do not automatically have rights and responsibilities over your child. If you did not establish paternity by signing a voluntary declaration of paternity, also known as an Acknowledgement of Paternity, or through a court-ordered DNA test, you will have to go to court to get paternity established.

As mentioned above, establishing paternity can be done through a court-ordered DNA test to prove the child's parentage. Once paternity is confirmed, you can ask the court to grant you legal rights and responsibilities for your child. While this may seem daunting, our Los Angeles fathers' rights attorneys have extensive experience helping fathers just like you. Contact us today to get started on your case!

How Our Los Angeles Fathers' Rights Attorneys Can Help

If you are worried about protecting your rights as a father, tell your lawyer what role you want to play in your children's lives after the divorce. If you feel you are better situated to take primary physical custody of the children, we will present your case to the court. Your parenting time should be determined by your availability and the children's needs and best interests - not by an outmoded idea about who should get the children.
