Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: not my child

You say that you sent back a waiver. A waiver is a document that you sign that gives up rights that you have under the law. I fear that you did not understand what you were doing or what rights you were signing away. Without seeing the documents you returned there is no way to know where you stand. I wish you luck and hope your case reminds people do not sign what you do not understand. If you have a copy of the papers you can call me at 817 261-2671.

Re: not my child

It is difficult to say without reviewing the papers that you were sent and that you returned. You had better get an attorney or my guess is that you will be paying for a child that may or may not be yours. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
