My daughter will soon be 7 years old. Has been just the two of us her entire life. I do not have a fathers name on the birth certificate, because(at the time of birth) I wasn't 100% sure which of two men was the father. She has met him no more than ten times her entire life, never knowing her was her father, on his request. Now, he is filing a paternity case, and what I assume will turn into visitation. I am in California. What is the process of paternity cases? After the test, must I put him on the B.C? What is the min. visitation? How can I secure the min. and have them supervised? Does his long history of drug abuse and prison time come into consideration when looking out for the best interest of the child? I am scare and confused. Any advice would help.
