California Court of Appeal

Orders denying a putative father's request for a paternity test and terminating his parental rights are reversed pursuant to his claims that: 1) he was entitled to presumed father status and, therefore, to reunification services; and 2) the dependency court was required to order a paternity test to determine whether he was the baby's biological father.
