How Can A Parent-Child Relationship Be Established?

Here are the different ways that a parent-child relationship can be established under California law:

The parents are married and living together at the time that the child was born. If this is the situation, no paternity action will be needed.
If the unwed father signs a voluntary declaration of paternity at the hospital at the time that the child is born.
DNA Testing
Parentage by estoppel, which is when a father deems a child as his own regardless of a biological relationship.
