Questions about legal parentage can affect important decisions for your family. We offer thoughtful guidance for parentage matters in Contra Costa County, Alameda County, and Solano County.
What establishing parentage means
Parentage concerns who is legally recognized as a child’s parent. It may be established through a court order or a valid voluntary declaration, depending on the circumstances. The appropriate process depends on your family’s situation and any existing documents or orders.
Related parenting and support questions
Once legal parentage is established, custody, parenting time, and child support may also need to be addressed. We can discuss which issues are already resolved and which require an agreement or a court decision.
Discuss your circumstances
Bring any petition, declaration, court order, or other relevant records to your consultation. Tell us about upcoming deadlines and the outcome you are seeking so we can discuss the next steps.
Move forward with clarity.
Consultations are paid appointments.
