What are the first steps a (possible) parent should take when the other parent has left with the child in question to live in the state of New Mexico after the parent who still resides in California asked for proof of paternity?

typically paternity establishment procedures do not vary greatly from one state to another. if you would like to email us more of an overview of your factual circumstances at issue, we would be able to guide you in the proper legal direction thereafter.

Re: proof of service
From what you have stated, although additional information is needed, an action for paternity still lies in the state of California. Move quickly as California may lose jurisdiction over the issue of custody if you wait too long. Do not file in another state unless an attorney so advises you. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
