It is possible in a California Dissolutuon or child support action to challenge paternity. But if the children were born during your marriage they are presumed to be your children under California law, in most cases.

in California, none, unless you and the adopting parent enter into an agreement as part of an open adoption.

Your question is unclear. If family court gets jurisdiction because someone has appeared in court, the court may have jurisdiction for that case or hearing. Usually due process issues have to be raised by a party immediately. Could you provide more details, please.
