Daniel B. Halpern, Attorney with Offices in Downtown San Jose, Handles Paternity Cases
Paternity is fatherhood. When an unmarried woman has a child, paternity should be established to provide the child with the same legal rights as a child born to a married woman.
Before being able to ask for a court order, the Department of Child Support Services must first establish paternity. The court will not order child support or determine custody or visitation until paternity has been legally established.
Fathers may come to Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) and acknowledge a child’s paternity. They can arrange for child support payments at the same time. DCSS can explain how this can be done without the parents having to go to court.”
If the father of your child does not acknowledge paternity, a good family law attorney, like Daniel B. Halpern, can handle your case in court to prove the paternity of your child. (See Family Law in San Jose, CA.)

Attorney Daniel B. Halpern Provides Information on DNA Testing to Prospective Clients
The DNA of an individual is almost exactly the same in each and every . . cell. Sexual reproduction brings the DNA of both parents together to create the unique combination of genetic material in a new individual, so the genetic material of an individual is derived from the genetic material of both their parents in roughly equal amounts.
In paternity testing the DNA sequence of an individual is compared to that of another individual. The comparison can show if one of the individuals is the child of the other. In testing for the paternity of a male infant, a comparison of the Y chromosome can be used since it is passed directly from father to son. . . .
Scientific tests can now determine paternity at about 13 weeks into a pregnancy. This involves the use of a blood sample taken from the pregnant woman's arm. The pregnant mother's blood carries the DNA of the fetus. With this sample, the DNA of the infant whose paternity is in question can be compared directly to the DNA of the alleged father.
