Paternity.
Summary
Existing law requires that the Department of Child Support Services provide certain oral and written information to parents along with the voluntary declaration of paternity form. Under existing law, a voluntary declaration of paternity that is signed by a minor parent shall not establish paternity until 60 days after both parents have reached 18 years of age or are emancipated. This bill would additionally invalidate a voluntary declaration of paternity that is signed by a minor parent if it is not also signed by the parent or guardian of the minor parent. The bill would also require the department to provide the oral and written information relating to the voluntary declaration of paternity to the parent or guardian of the minor parent.
