2023Analysis Although there are no factors that a court must consider in determining whether substantial evidence supports that the claimed father received the child into his home (W.S. v. S.T., supra, 20 Cal.App.5th at p. 145 ), we will use the factors set forth 14 in T.R. as a framework for our analysis, to the extent they are relevant.2 The first four factors—“[1] whether the man actively helped the mother in prenatal care; [2] whether he paid pregnancy and birth expenses commensurate with his ability to do so; [3] whether he promptly took legal action to obtain custody of the child; [and] [4]
