Thousand Oaks Parentage Lawyer

Thousand Oaks Parentage Attorney

Parentage is the legal process for unmarried parents of a child to establish child custody, visitation, and child support orders. If you share a child with someone to whom you are not married, it is important to seek legal counsel to help you establish these rights. McFadden Family Law & Mediation can help you with either an attorney to guide you through this process, or a mediator to help both you and the other parent obtain a judgment of parentage that gives both of you legal and physical custody rights, a parenting plan for visitation to ensure that both of you spend time with your child, and an appropriate amount of child support if it is warranted.

The Importance of a Parentage Judgment for Child Custody and Support

Without a judgment of parentage that gives both parents custody and visitation rights to their child, both are at risk that the other could move the child out of the Thousand Oaks, CA, state or even the country. Legal orders are needed to prohibit one parent from depriving the other of time with their child. Legal orders may also be necessary to ensure that a proper amount of child support gets paid on a regular basis to meet the basic needs of a child. Without a judgment of parentage, you may spend an unnecessary amount of time and energy in conflict with your child’s parent about parenting time schedules and financial issues.
