My question involves paternity law for the State of: California
Hi everyone, so my particular situation is as follows:
I recently learned that there is a mistake on my birth cert. and my biological father is not listed. The person that is listed as my father is my mother's ex husband (divorced before my birth). Both men are now deceased, but I've taken a few different dna tests and found my biological cousins on my biological father's side. These cousins are my bio father's niece and nephew. Unfortunately, their mother (my biological aunt) is also deceased.
My mother knew exactly who my biological father was when I asked her about this, and gave me his name. My new found cousins confirmed that he was their uncle.
I know my situation is a little difficult because so many family members have passed, but I want to correct my birth certificate and apply for recognition of my Italian heritage and thus have my right to Italian citizenship recognized. In Italy you are entitled to citizenship if certain qualifications are met and it is considered your "birth right" - Jure Sanguinis. This is a really amazing option and not only would it help me connect with my Italian family and heritage/roots, but I would benefit from a few real and tangible things like not requiring a visa to work there, etc.
So my questions boil down to what I would need to do (presumably with a lawyer - open to recommendations) to accomplish this through the courts. I would love to have any input no matter how small from anyone willing to respond. Any info is info, and it is very much appreciated!
Other details:
-My conception occurred in California
-My biological father passed away in Arizona
-My mom is willing to help me in any way she can (Statements etc.)
-My cousins are willing to help me as well (further dna testing etc.)
-My cousins and I all currently reside in California
-My maternal uncles (California) could provide a statement that they witnessed my mother and biological father in a romantic relationship (although I don't know about cohabitation - would need to follow up with mom)
Thanks a lot!
