Los Angeles Paternity Resolution Attorney
In well over a decade of defending fathers' rights in California courts, attorney Elena Mebtahi has encountered many cases involving questions and doubts about paternity. Please contact our law office now for experienced counsel and representation you can depend on, regardless of whether you live in Los Angeles or thousands of miles away.
If you have learned that you have child support arrearages, but you are not sure you are the father of the child, we will help you arrange paternity testing and all the other key legal aspects of your situation. It is critical to act quickly to avoid forever barring yourself from a right that you may otherwise be entitled to and to avoid other severe penalties like driver's license suspension, substantial interest payments, wage garnishment, tax interception and passport renewal suspension.
Fathers Have a Right to Proof of Paternity
If you are paying to support a child or are under a court order to do so, you certainly have a right to demand proof that you are indeed the child's biological father. However, there is a limited time and restrictions to do this. Simple, affordable genetic testing may relieve you of years of unwarranted child support payments and protect your fathers' rights.
Regardless of the outcome of the DNA testing, we will know what next steps to take. If you are not the child's biological father, we can file the necessary paperwork to fully eliminate your legal obligation to pay child support. If you are the child's father, we can assist you with matters such as:
- Determining whether you were properly served with the notice of your child support obligation, thus possibly giving you the opportunity to make back payments without being charged interest or losing your driver’s or business licenses
- Verifying or correcting the amount of your child support arrearage
- Exercising your right to visitation with your child
- Negotiating a manageable payment plan or settlement for back due child support arrears
- Seeking the modification of child support based on changed circumstances in your and the mother’s life
