Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
What do you name a pleading where the court erred by allowing a paternity hearing/trial to come before the court absent service upon the mother and only proof of service on the assumed father? So I need to obtain a reversal of the entire case due to the paternity portion being the basis of how the case will play out. I believe it to be harmful err, since I certainly would have fought it initially.
Also, how long following the trial/hearing do I have to file this motion? And what if it was after appeal that was not filed complete only partially and then the case was closed?

This is not the appropriate category for this question. This category concerns the rules and regulations governing the practice of licensed attorneys in California.
You need to speak to an attorney in person, because your question is very confusing. I suggest an appellate attorney who has handled family law and paternity matters, since that appears to be the area of law that you seek.
