warble writes "As everybody knows, anytime that men's activist try to bring fairness to paternity law we get overwhelming opposition, and as predicted the opponents of paternity fraud legislation are opposing SB1030 in California in big numbers. Currently, there are only two letters of support in Senator Ashburn's office for SB1030. Therefore, we need every person on this forum to send in letters and faxes. Do not send emails or make phone calls. They will not work. This must be in writing. Here is a sample letter: Click Read More/Post Comments
for the letter.

Honorable Senator Roy Ashburn

State Capitol, Room 2068

Sacramento, CA 95814

Fax: (916) 322-3304


Dear Senator Ashburn,

I am writing this letter in support of SB1030. For too long innocent families have been victimized by incorrect default paternity judgments and paternity fraud. With the advances in technology we are able to determine the actual paternity of a child. We need to update our paternity laws to account for modern advances in science. Like a person on death row, we should be using DNA testing to provide relief to innocent victims of incorrect default paternity judgments. It is my understanding that SB1030 will do the following:


  • 1. Permit a victim of paternity fraud and an incorrect default paternity judgment to seek an affordable remedy at law.
  • 2. Permit the victim to have arrearages of an incorrect order to be vacated
  • 3. Allow a victim of an incorrect default paternity judgment a reasonable chance to challenge a judgment that would otherwise be final by allowing a judgment to be set aside within two years have a wage garnishment or the actual discovery of an incorrect default paternity judgment.



I encourage you to aggressively move this bill forward and thereby free innocent victims and their children of the oppressive burdens imposed by an incorrect default paternity judgment.



Thanks,
