Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Custody
My babys mother tricked me into getting her pregnant. Then we had our baby and I just found out that shes Married to a woman. So she used me to get her pregnant for a baby for her and her partner. She doesnt know me and my family knows about it. She lied about when she had the baby and didnt tell me till days later that she had her so i wouldnt be able to sign the birth certificate so her partner signed it wit her last name. We found out her partner has a bad criminal record and that my babys mom has been in and out of jail. Theres so many lies shes telling me. Im afraid they are planning on trying to r un off with my daughter. What can i do about this? We have pictures of them 2gether with my daughter before she even told me she was born. And again shes not aware i know of any of this. So what steps should i take in gather information so i can gain at least 50 percent custody of my daughter?

Re: Child Custody
You can file an action to determine parental relationship with the court and obtain a court order for paternity tests. Note that the longer you wait, the less likely it is the court will grant you father status, even if paternity tests show you are the biological father.
