Q: What must I fill out if the court says I am missing the "declaration regarding parentage"?
A: It would be best if you showed me the rejection paper. I will assume that it is the form FL-105 the UCCJEA declaration but i can only guess. Sorry for the short response but i dont know exactly what they are asking for and can only guess. You could hire an attorney on a limited basis to deal with this and other issues. It would save time and money. Good luck with your case.
A:
In California family law cases, you'll need to complete Form FL-235, which is the "Declaration of Parentage." This important document helps establish the legal relationship between parents and children, including details about biological parents, adoptive parents, or anyone who has taken on parental responsibilities.
To properly fill out this declaration, you must include basic information about yourself and the child, such as full legal names, dates of birth, and your relationship to the child. You should also explain any relevant circumstances about parentage, such as whether you were married when the child was born, if there's been a voluntary declaration of paternity, or if there have been any previous court orders regarding custody or support.
The form requires you to declare under penalty of perjury that all the information provided is true and correct. Make sure to attach any supporting documents that prove parentage, such as birth certificates, previous court orders, or DNA test results if applicable. Once completed, sign and date the form, make copies for your records, and file it with the court clerk's office - they will then process your declaration and add it to your case file.
