Who/where is bio Dad?
The court shall order that relevant persons and agencies make efforts to identify the alleged natural father. Any potential natural father who is identified must be given notice of the hearing. After the natural father, or more than one natural father, is notified, they must claim paternity within thirty days and appear at the hearing or their parental rights will be terminated. If the natural father does appear in court, the court will determine if he is in fact the father and then determine if it is in the child's best interest for the father to retain his parental rights. If so, the father's consent will be required. If not, the court will terminate the father's parental rights.
If after making efforts, the court is unable to identify the natural father, the court will enter an order terminating the unknown father's parental rights. (This information regarding alleged father's rights is found in Sections 7610 to 7670 of the California Civil Code).
