• Jurisdiction: California
• Code FAM: Family Code - FAM
• Div. 12.: DIVISION 12. PARENT AND CHILD RELATIONSHIP
• Part 2.: PART 2. PRESUMPTION CONCERNING CHILD OF MARRIAGE AND GENETIC TESTING TO DETERMINE PARENTAGE
• Ch. 3.: CHAPTER 3. Establishment of Parentage by Voluntary Declaration

Text

(a)
The Legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:
(1)
There is a compelling state interest in establishing parentage for all children. Establishing parentage is the first step toward a child support award, which, in turn, provides children with equal rights and access to benefits, including, but not
limited to, social security, health insurance, survivors’ benefits, military benefits, and inheritance rights.
(2)
A simple administrative system allowing for establishment of voluntary parentage will result in a significant increase in the ease of establishing parentage, a significant increase in parentage establishment, an increase in the number of children who have greater access to child support and other benefits, and a significant decrease in the time and money required to establish parentage due to the removal of the need for a lengthy and expensive court process to determine and
establish parentage and is in the public interest.
(b)
This section shall become operative on January 1, 2020.
