Legal Question in Family Law in California
A child died shortly after birth. I was not present for the birth or the funeral. Now five years later the mother of the child is wanting me to pay for half of the funeral costs. Am I legally obligated to pay half? Also, she is wanting a paternity test. Am I legally obligated to obtain a paternity test.

No, you are not obligated either to take a paternity test or to pay for the funeral. The mother is about 5 years late to be asking. Besides, how would she do a paternity test and even so, for what reason??? Good luck!
