Legal Question in Family Law in California

Your ex is using this threat to control you. Contact the local spousal help center and determine if you can obtain a domestic violence restraining order. Go to court if he files a petition for paternity. There is nothing to fear. The court will order you to submit yourself and your daughter to a dna test.

If you do not go to court a warrant for your arrest may be issued by the court ore he may obtain an order giving him custody of the child,

Your best step would be to initiate a petition for paternity and to establish support and proper orders to address parenting and any restraining orders that would be appropriate for your case. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
