Alert! A parent can't file a form CS 915 if someone has started a court action using the declaration of paternity. For example, a parent can't file a form CS 915 if the other parent asks the court for child support based on the declaration.

If you can't file a form CS 915, you can file an action (called an "application") with the court to cancel the voluntary declaration of paternity.
