Legal Question in Family Law in California

Paternity/ Child Support

My son will be four years old in March. His father signed teh child support judgement in 2006. Has never denied parentage of the child. Now, all of a sudden he is claiming to have taken a home DNA test that proved that my son isn't his. He is mistreating my son, and demanding that I take him off of child support. My son loves his dad. What are my rights? What are dad's rights? What can I do?

Re: Paternity/ Child Support

If he is mistreating your son you have a duty to protect him from his father. If you continue to fail to protect him your child maybe removed from you and placed in foster care.

Re: Paternity/ Child Support

it may be too late for him to get out of paying child support--i'd have to do some research to be certain. nevertheless, if he refuses to act like a father, then there's nothing you can do from a legal perspective.
