A.H., In re (2022) A163882 A163882; filed 10/19/22. ![[Files/CaseFiles/A163882.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/A163882.PDF) ## Rule excerpts Welfare and Institutions Code section 316.2: notice and opportunity for an alleged father to establish parentage. > Quite apart from the court’s independent duty of inquiry, an alleged father is entitled at the earliest possible point to be informed of the importance of, and apprised of the statutory method for, seeking presumed parent status. Specifically, section 316.2 requires the court to give to all men who are identified as an alleged father a statutorily prescribed notice and a statutorily prescribed form containing various advisements that enables them to exercise their rights as an alleged father to assert a claim to parentage. — A.H., In re (2022) A163882, slip op., p. 26.
