Paternity Dispute Attorney
San Diego, California
Paternity suits vary widely, and are filed under a broad range of circumstances. Common scenarios include:
- A married man disputes his paternity for one of his wife's children.
- A mother and alleged father met only once or twice, and the mother is interested in establishing paternity, receiving child support payments and positively identifying her child's father for the child's benefit.
- A man feels sure he is the father of a child, but the child's mother denies fatherhood and denies the man the ability to have a relationship with the child.
- The alleged parents are unmarried but have been in a relationship for months or years. A child is born, and the couple does not agree as to paternity.

If you are a mother interested in establishing the paternity of your child's father, we can file a summons and petition and obtain a court-mandated DNA paternity test. A positive test result, or a default judgment if the father fails to follow court orders, can establish the right to child support payments.
If you are a father interested in establishing paternity for a child, we can petition the court to allow paternity testing and pursue timeshare and visitation rights for you and your child.
In addition, we can:
- Work to enforce child support payments
- Contest default judgments against fathers on the basis that the father did not receive notice of the hearing
- Contest a man's paternity of his wife's child if the child is under 2 years old
- Assist in creating workable timeshare and visitation agreements
