Does anyone understand these results???

The Combined Parentage Index is 197,007 (corresponding to a Probability of Paternity of 99.99%, assuming prior probability = 0.5) and
indicates that these genetic data are 197,007 times more likely if Joe is the biological father of Anna than if an
untested, unrelated Caucasian man is the biological father. This genetic analysis excludes at least 99.98% of Caucasian men from
paternity. These results do not supersede any genetic testing directly involving the biological mother of Anna. An extended
analysis was performed in this case and results in a Combined Avuncular Index of 2,248 indicating that the genetic data are 87.64
times more likely if Joe is the biological father of Anna than if he is her uncle.
Conclusion:

Joe is not excluded as the biological father of Anna.

Ok.. So here is the deal...
I was dating this girl on and off for a couple of years. Within the last 7 months, the relationship was long distance. I was going to see her once a month. She had assured me that she was on Birth Control. She told me in May that she was pregnant. I decided to move out to be with her and help her through the pregnancy. What I did not know was that she was binge drinking behind my back after finding out she was "pregnant" and continued to do so. When I moved out there to be with her, I started noticing her behavior was extremely inconsistent and that my beer was disappearing from the fridge. I also found her asking me regularly for permission to drink a beer. I told her that one glass of wine or one beer seldomly was not a problem. However, if I left the house or went outside for something, I would come back and notice more and more beer gone and her behavior becoming increasingly violent. I would also notice that upon waking up on saturday mornings she had already been awake for quite some time and was completely intoxicated. There would be 7-8 beer cans on her computer desk and she could not sit up straight, or even complete a rational sentence for that matter. One saturday morning, my mother had called me to see how I was doing. Unfortunately, she happened to pick my phone while I was in the shower. She was completely intoxicated, fighting, and cursing at my mother. I had no idea that my mother had called until she came into to town to visit a week and a half later and told me the details of the phone conversation and that she was completely intoxicated while yelling at my mother. After meeting with my mother and hearing the details, I had went home and spoke to my girlfriend. I was so furious with her that I just completely let her have it for speaking to my mother like that while being intoxicated and showing her that level of disrespect. I had also ripped into her about her constant binge drinking and what self respecting mother would binge drink like that during a pregnancy! I had told her that I didnt appreciate the level of disrespect she was showing my family, myself, and herself for that matter. I told her that I did not want to be a part of such a volatile relationship. Especially one where a mother would constantly argue with me about her drinking being ok while pregnant. I told her that if she wanted to continue her lifestyle, she would have to continue it alone; because I wanted NO part of a lifestyle like that. With that being said, a few days later; I packed up everything that I brought with me and left while she was at work. Please note, that I did not say anything about this or leave any kind of note upon leaving her and going back home.

Since then, she continues to call me and send me text messages on a daily basis. Most of them are late at night and I suspect that she has been drinking. I have decided to keep these messages by sending them to my laptop via a sound recording software. She has mentioned that she intends to sue me for child support. Is there anything I can do to help my case? Or possibly avoid payment of child support? Would it be possible to sue her for custody of the child if I present this evidence to the court and after a positive paternity test?

Please note that she never showed me proof of a positive pregnancy test, or proof of any prenatal check ups.

What do you suggest I do in this case? Am I totally screwed?

Any information would be greatly helpful!

Thank you,

Chris

i heard that some guys who are in the military and are court ordered to take a paternity test, and the court sends the test kit to the guy's commanding officer, have someone else take the test for them to avoid getting discharged because the girl was a minor. so i was wondering if anyone out there has done this or knows someone who has. as they say, curiosity kills the cat lol.
i'm not picking on soldiers, i have total respect and support for our soldiers, i am just asking a harmless question, and this is something that was said to happen to someone 7 years ago, and i was just wondering if it ever happens to see if there could be truth to the story, but hey thanks for judging me!
ok, the courts did address the soldier directly, he was served court papers and everything, then the court decided to send a test kit out to where he was stationed, and thats where the test was taken.

I recently posted a question regarding American Bulldog vs. Bulldog (for those of you who freak when someone uses the term “English Bulldog” just so people aren’t confused) scientific (DNA) differentiation within breed tests.

I’d like to first say that I didn’t find what I was looking for. I only wanted to know if anyone found a test out there that I hadn’t. No one did. Everyone spent their time instead ranting over my terminology, assuming that I purchased a puppy without major research into the breeder nor actually viewing the entire litter, the Dam, and the Sire. Some also went as far as to call me names and accuse me of being yet another who ignorantly added to the population of mixed, registered, purebred dogs out there.

As for my question, let me state more clearly...First, I know that “English Bulldog” is not correct terminology. I put it that way so that there were no questions as to what type of bulldog I was speaking of. Second, I SAW THE PARENT DOGS so there's no need to get a picture nor do I need to research what an American Bulldog, "English" Bulldog, Pitbull, French Bulldog, etc., etc. look like. I know. I've owned both ENGLISH & AMERICAN BULLDOGS, had grandparents who owned French Bulldogs and used to know some people who owned Pitbulls. Probably any breed of any type of bull dog variation I've known one personally. I'm fully aware of both breeds that I brought up (American Bulldog & Bulldog) and their major differences. I went to the breeder's home and saw the entire litter, registration papers, and all other possible info you could think of when considering buying any purebred puppy especially one of such cost and possible health needs.

Again. I'm aware that I need to do a DNA (breed and/or parentage test) on my puppy, the male supposed to be his father, and the female. My question wasn’t “someone please tell me stuff I already know and/or how might I determine if my dog has any other breed in him”. MY QUESTION IS AND WAS: I NEED A TEST TO SCIENTIFICALLY DETERMINE IF MY DOG IS PUREBRED AND I HAVEN'T FOUND ONE. ANYONE KNOW OF ONE THAT DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN BULLDOG AND ALL THE RELATED BREEDS? IF THE BREED TEST ONLY LISTS "BULLDOG" AND "FRENCH BULLDOG", how in the world am I to know if the test determines "BULLDOG" as what is actually bulldog, or does that term also include american, pitbull, and other breeds with the name bull in it. I'm asking all of you because the representatives at the company that makes and runs the tests don't know the answer to that question. They’re not sure if their test can differentiate scientifically between breeds of Bulldog relation such as Bulldog (English), American Bulldog, Pitbull, Bull Mastiff, Bulldogge, Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog, Valley Bulldog, American Pit Bull Terrier,Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Bull Mastiff, or Banter Bulldogge. All they know for sure that they can differentiate between is French Bulldog and whatever falls under their category of “Bulldog” which even they don’t know.

To KOBE24MVP, I am by no means an idiot nor stupid and I only wish you allowed emails but apparently you spend your time not bothering to pay attention to what you read nor find out all the facts prior to incorrectly putting down on people. You seem to not have the nerve to get responses via email to your immature and ignorant comments you make!...that or you simply want to see how many people you can tick off. Either way, get a life and learn to pay attention when you read! And if you’ve got the nerve to start stuff with people have the nerve to leave an open line of communication so that you might allow someone to respond. Coward!

P.S. I'm aware that AKC does DNA testing. However, that's only for dogs that are AKC registered. My puppy is CKC due to his mother being registered through CKC (the father is AKC but all three dogs involved have to be AKC) so AKC can't help me. I grilled the breeder first, then spoke with my vet, then my next call was AKC. I'm in the process of contacting CKC for assistance so ya'll know. And by the way, my puppy is only 13 weeks old now and due to his looks (for all of you out there that focused on my not knowing what each breed looks like) for about 7 weeks now, I ask these questions.

I've been reading up on paternity tests on the internet, and I saw a lot of ads for do-it-yourself paternity tests. How do they work? Do they send you a kit or something to collect samples with? Do they need a sample from you and the child, but not your partner? And how are they sure nothing happens to the samples along the way?

I talked to my lawyer and he said that alot of people resort to that because it is faster than waiting for CCS. Has anyone ever come accross problems? No Maury comments please. It's only funny the first time you hear it. = )

I married my ex when I was young and foolish. I found out he was an abuser after the fact and left him after 3 months. I found out i was pregnant a week later. He had nothing to do with me during the pregnancy and no one in his family even contacted me until my son was a month old. I filed for divorce and he even requested a paternity test, yet he still wanted visitation. He only came to see my son 4 times in the first year, and not at all during the second year. Since then he only exercises his visitation about every 3-5 months. He has moved so many times I can't keep track, but know he lives about 6 1/2 hours away. He only calls when he is telling me he is exercising a visitation and even 9 out of 10 times he sends someone else to pick my son up, usually his mother, who has never forgiven me for divorcing her poor baby. I haven't actually laid eyes on this man for a year. I have written him a letter asking him to be more envolved, but he ignored it. How do I continue to deal with him
Just to add, my son is 10, my ex does nothing more than pay the 0 a month childsupport and he hasn't always done that. He doesn't keep medical insurance on him like he was ordered, he never helps with school supplies or clothes, and has done nothing but critisize my parenting, as if he is father of the year or something.
Also, his mother has shown up early before to pick my son up. I can't stand this woman, because she was right up in the middle of our divorce, speaking for my ex as if he had no voice, she made me out to be a whore and a bad mother, and has taken it upon herself to make decisions in my sons life while he was with her for the visitation. She has thrown a fit before when I don't let him go early, then other times she has shown up an hour or two late, without even a phone call. I can't stop her from picking him up, because the divorce decree allows it.

Can anyone recommend a good home paternity test kit.

I am in this little situation where a friend of mine has a child, but a few years has gone by because her parents did not approve of the relationship (it was an interracial relationship). So after she got older and got a place of her own she say the father in the store and told him how old his son was (he already knew he had a son with her).

Now he is saying he is not the father after he saw their son and spent almost of month with him bonding. Now all of a sudden he says the child is not his. The only thing I could tell her was to take a DNA test, but he does not want to take one. I believe he knows deep down this is his child. So my question is when they attend court when the judge ask him if he believes the child is his and he says no, then when the judge also ask if he's willing to take a DNA test and he says no could the courts make him take the test considering she is on public assistance from the government? Does the court have the power to do that for the sake of the child parentage.

(I would greatly appreciate if some family attorneys were able to answer my question, but anyone who knows the answer feel free to answer)

Thank you in advance!!

If a paternity test states that the tested man might be 86% his biological father, I got the online kit at gtldna.com. Oh and by the way it says that 14 out of 15 genetic markers match. is it still possible for the other unrelated man to be the dad?

Okay so my boyfriend's parents are psychotic... him and I have a 5 1/2 month old daughter and are temporarily living with them until we get married in August )they don't know we're getting married... they also don't know we're pregnant again and I don't want them knowing) and they told him that he had to get a paternity test done on our daughter otherwise I can't live there anymore and they'll file for custody... like they're psychotic so he did it. So we have to go to court... but on the court papers it says that the court will set up proper parenting times like visitation... well how the hell does that work if we live together and are getting married? Should I get a lawyer? What are they going to ask us at court and tell us (he's trying to establish parentage). Thanks.

My son is 8 months old and up until now i was pretty sure who his dad was until my mom pointed out how much she thinks he looks like my ex its complicated because i was last with my ex the beginning of march 2008 and got with the other guy the middle of march and had a period the end of march and it was said that i conceived around april 14th just by going by the 1st day of my last period, my due date was january 10th i had my son a month early, My 1st question is has ANYBODY had a period during your pregnancy, even one, or just in the beginning of the pregnancy, not implantation, a full blown period??? Because now im a nervous wreck thinking did i conceive before the period and had the period anyway?!!? i was with the guy my whole pregnancy and after but hes just an awful person and i dont want him in my sons life, my 2nd question is can i have a DNA test shipped to my home and whats the cost and are they accurate? i dont want no mean comments please this is very serious to me and ide just like a little advice and answers thank you so much!! does anybody think theres a big chance he could belong to the other guy even though i had a period? and also my son was born at 35 weeks and was 100% healthy he didnt need lights or oxygen tubes so everyone assumed my son was full term and belonged to the other guy, its all very confusing and i am going to get a DNA done i just want other opinions and answers on the period while pregnant. thanks.
can a DNA be covered under health insurance?
