Legal Question in Family Law in California
My step son had a girl come to his door and accuse him of being the father of her child. A paternity test was done and proved that he is not the father. Meanwhile, the DA sent a process service to a former employer of his and held a hearing without his knowledge. He learned of it after the they had attached his wages. It has also shown up on his credit report and when he tried to straighten it out with child support services they would not give him any information because the case had his name spelled incorrctly. He can not afford an attorney and needs to stop this insanity, recover his losses and be compensated for his trouble. What should he do?

The best answer, unfortunately, is that he needs to hire an attorney who specializes in family law matters. Otherwise, he needs to file a motion on the DCS action for a set aside of the order and a determination of non-paternity along with a request for reimbursement of monies wrongly paid to them. Good luck.
I can tell you from years of dealing with the Department of Child Support Services that they are difficult to work with. He really needs an attorney that specializes in this area, and even with an attorney, I can't guarantee you that it will be smooth sailing.
