We apply a substantial evidence standard of review to a court's determination about presumed father status. (In re M.C. (2011) 195 Cal.App.4th 197, 213, superseded by statute on other grounds as stated in Martinez v. Vaziri (2016) 246 Cal.App.4th 373, 378.) " '[W]e review the facts most favorably to the judgment, drawing all reasonable inferences and resolving all conflicts in favor of the order.
