Legal Question in Family Law in California
The woman and her husband divorced in 2000. during the marraige. A child was born who is now 12. I've obtained a copy of the divorce decree and the ex-husband acknowledged the child as his. The divorce decree names the child as a party to the divorce. The judgement was that the mother would be the custodial parent and that her ex-husband would pay child support, pay half of out of pocket medical cost and visitation. Now the woman his attempting to serve another man with child support, is this legal in the stat of California?

The divorce judgment has established that the ex-husband is the father. The other man should get a copy of the divorce judgment and file a motion to have the case dismissed. At that motion he should also request that she pay his attorney fees and costs as a sanction for misuse of legal process.
