Establishing Paternity Rights

At the Law Office of Michael R. Fosco, we believe that it is in the best interests of children for both parents to be financially and emotionally responsible for their well-being whenever possible. Legally establishing paternity is one step toward that goal.

We represent married and unmarried mothers and fathers who seek to know the truth about a contested paternity matter, including:

• Mothers seeking to challenge a denial of paternity
• Fathers with legitimate paternity concerns
• Identification of paternity in difficult situations

For a frank and confidential discussion of what you can expect in your paternity matter, contact the California Law Office of Michael R. Fosco to speak with an experienced and discreet paternity rights attorney.

Protecting Grandparents' Rights

According to California law and recent rulings, grandparents do have child visitation rights, and we can help protect them. There are several issues the courts take into consideration when considering the visitation rights of grandparents, including:

• The best interests of the child
• Any effect on the parent/child relationship
• The prior relationship between grandparent and grandchild
• If the parents are deceased, divorced, or unmarried
• Stepparent adoption issues

To get more information on what your rights as a grandparent are in cases of child visitation, or to discuss any child custody matter, contact the Walnut Creek Law Office of Michael R. Fosco to schedule a free initial consultation. Evening and weekend appointments are available for your convenience.
