California DNA Testing Requirements and Legal Information
Establishing paternity is a significant legal and personal matter in California. Here are key resources and information for those seeking to determine paternity:
The California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) offers paternity establishment services, which may include genetic testing if needed. Hospitals also play a crucial role by offering voluntary Declaration of Paternity (DOP) forms to unmarried parents at the time of a child's birth. Additionally, legal aid organizations and family law attorneys can provide guidance and representation throughout the paternity establishment process, ensuring that both parents' interests are considered and that children receive the support and recognition they deserve. These resources are essential for families in California seeking to establish paternity and ensure a stable future for their children.
