Establishing Parentage &
Protecting Parental Rights

Legal parentage plays a crucial role in determining custody, visitation rights, child support, and inheritance matters. If you need to establish or dispute parentage, having a knowledgeable attorney by your side is essential to protect both your rights and the best interests of your child.

At the Law Office of Aylin Acikalin, we guide parents through paternity cases, parental rights disputes, and legal parentage recognition, ensuring fair outcomes for all parties involved. Whether you're a mother seeking child support, a father fighting for custody, or an individual challenging a parentage claim, we are here to provide strong legal advocacy every step of the way.

Why Establishing Parentage Matters

Establishing legal parentage is more than just confirming biological ties—it directly impacts the rights and responsibilities of both parents and children. In California, parentage must be legally recognized before courts can issue orders regarding custody, visitation, and child support.

Key reasons for establishing parentage include:

Parental Rights & Responsibilities – Ensures both parents have legal rights to custody and visitation.

Child Support Obligations – Allows courts to determine fair financial contributions for the child’s needs.

Medical & Inheritance Rights – Grants children access to benefits such as health insurance, Social Security, and inheritance rights.

Birth Certificate Inclusion – Ensures that a child’s legal parents are correctly recorded.

If parentage is disputed, a court may require DNA testing or other legal procedures to establish a biological or legal relationship.
