I had a boyfriend and we decided to finish the relationship, on july 31 we had sex for the last time and part separate ways. I was very deppresed and one night my exhusband came to my house. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex (this was on August 9). On August 31 I found out I was pregnant, but I havent had my period since june because I am very irregular. My doctor made an ultrasound and told me my due date was April 25, 2007. But then I had another ultrasound that said my due date really is April 28. I am very confused and sad. I honestly never thought I will be in this position because I am not that kind of woman, but I could not think of abort. Please help me, I am desperate !!!!!!!!!!

If someone had a blood sample of a male and mixed it with a blood sample from a child or the childs mother for a paternity test,could the results show that the male is the father even if he is not?

Im 18 almost 19 & Im 29 weeks pregnant, the father of my baby knows Im pregnant & refuses to accept that, he says the baby isn't his & Im lying, but I wasn't with any1 else when I conceived. He told me to leave him alone & stay out of his life, my parents think I should leave him alone because my baby & I are better off without him, but my doctor & a couple other people think I should get a paternity test & file for child support. I don't know what to do. I want to do what's best for my baby, should I ask for a paternity test & hope that he either signs his rights over or has changed or should I live & let live? I also think my baby & I are better off without him in our lives I just need some more advice.

can i get him for child support without doing a paternity test? if he wants one who pays for it? is it required?
I know he is the father of the girls...just wondering if i had to pay for the test..my caseworker wasnt sure...might as well make an ass of him

I'm doing a study on IQ and how people consider themselves compared to their mother and father and how they view parents compared to each other.

Your answers would help a lot...thanx

me and my wife had a child. but i fully trust her, and i know she hasn't cheated on me.. but im awfully paranoid.. so i just want to make sure.

I want to know if i can get a paternity test without the mother finding out because i don't want to hurt my wife's feelings..

HERE IS MY PROBLEM, I AM CURRENTLY PAYING CHILD SUPPORT FOR MY DAUGHTER, THERE IS ANOTHER CHILD THAT I WILL BE GETTING A PATERNITY TEST FOR. I KNOW THAT IN ORDER TO CHANGE HER LAST NAME, BE ON THE B.C AND IF SHE WANTS TO GO TO COURT FOR CHILD SUPPORT WE MUST DO A LEGALLY BINDING PATERNITY TEST. NOW-IF I TAKE MY FIRST DAUGHTERS MOTHER BACK TO COURT TO LOWER HER CHILD SUPPORT WOULD I BE ABLE TO USE THE PERSONAL USE PATERNITY TEST THAT IVE PURCHASED.OR WOULD I NEED TO DO A LEGAL ONE FOR THAT ALSO

im in minnesota im a possible father and the ex is not cooperating at all and refuses to submit to genetic testing or dna test to prove paternity, im fairly confident i am the father and need help in best way to get a court ordered paternity test. she has since moved out of state, anyone have any suggestions on best route i should take. or fathers rights groups that may have specific information. thank you very much to all those who have any suggestions.

My husband has never denied his son. He has always paid the child support and we have always provided insurance on him. However in the 6 years we have known that he is my husbands, he has seen him 4 times. The mother has 3 other children by 3 other men. She originally told my husband that her 2nd child was his, and when she got pregnant with the 3rd child (now discovered to be his), she told him she had been cheating on him and that it was this other guys. They split and she went and married this other guy. Then they split and she filed to get paternity tests done. That's when we found out the 2nd child was not his, but the 3rd child was.
We are completely fed up at this point, as she doesn't work at all, and she lives off the system. My husband would like to sign over rights, but we've been told that he would still have to pay child support. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, does she have to agree to this, or can it just be done?
Just to answer a few of the comments all in one statement: He doesn't necessarily want to leave this child "fatherless". She refuses to let my husband see his son because myself and our 2 girls are in the picture. So, my girls have a brother that they don't even know because he has a stubborn hateful mother.
To comment on back child support, that won't happen. The child support has been garnished from every one of my husbands checks, and even one years tax return to pay the 1 year that we didn't know he was my husbands. So, we have plenty of proof that all payments were made, and that my husband has taken care of his obligations from day one.
Back to the comment about her getting married...that would most likely never happen, because she doesn't want to lose the social security she receives on her 2nd child. Not to mention, probably half of her state aid.

A friend of mine had a baby, and her husband thinks she cheated on him and the baby isn't his, so to prove him wrong, she had a paternity test done, and it said he wasn't the father. So he is divorcing her, but she swears that the baby is his and she didn't cheat on him. Is this likely to happen? How often does that happen?

You are already an adult and the only answer you have is what has been told to you.

For instance: If both have O blood types.

How can I get access to DNA for a paternity test?
My daughter's biological father was murdered two years ago. His DNA is still on file at the coroner's office. I desperately need to have a paternity test performed but his parent's are refusing to give me permission. I can't see how this is fair or right. What can I do?

The paternity test needs to be performed for my daughter to recieve survivor's benefits. I "desperately" need to get this done as there is a time limit. As far as the relationship went, he left when I was 4 mths pregnant and never looked back. I could never locate him to try and get a paternity test performed for child support and was notified by SSI of his death.

Oh, and I've never met his parents. They know of me, but much like their son want nothing to do with me or their "grandaughter".

if a paternity test is not needed when the 2 parties are homosexual in a child support case, why should it be required if the 2 parties are heterosexual?
But why should paternity matter if the person is recognized as the father. Can't the same rules apply to heterosexuals as they do for homosexuals?

Can a heterosexual man refuse a paternity test on the grounds of discrimination?
Nope I used the same name, now get some glasses.

I am questioning why is a parternity test necessary today when it comes to child suppport.

I thought I phrase it differently.
Who cares about blood relations now days. Unless it is for medical reasons, what the who about blood relations.
Whitefan:
No duh, that is my point.

OK MY BOYFRIENDS EX IS PREGNANT & CLAIMS ITS HIS, OK SO HE IS GOIN THROUGH ALL THE BASICS TIL BIRTH TO DO THE DNA, BUT YESTERDAY SHE CALLS TO SAY THE DOC WANTS TO PERFORM A TEST FOR DOWN SNYDROME NOT ONLY ON HER BUT HTE UNBORN BABY & POSSIBLY EVEN THE FATHER, NOW I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO 2 CHILDREN & HAVE NEVER HAD A DOCTOR WITH THIS REQUEST, SHOULD'N THERE BE A REASON, DID HE FIND SOMETHING SOMEWHERE? ALSO THAT TEST IS PERFORMED BY AMNIO, CORRECT SO CAN'T THEY GO AHEAD & DO THE DNA THEN AS WELL IT THAT IS THE CASE?

My birth certificate states that I have no father (it has a bunch of Xs). Through Accurint.com, I've found his social security number and address and home telephone number. He resides in Edgewater, Volusia County, FL. I reside in Buffalo, Erie County, NY. and I am a 21-year-old male university student. My mother and I have not received any child support from him at all. He left when I was born and my mother did not know his social security number, just his previous address and that he moved to the state of Florida. I believe that he will have to submit to a paternity test in order to prove that he is indeed my father. How can I go about ordering this via court? What is the next step that I need to take now that I have all this information on him? Thank you!

Or was I already Preg? I am really confused so please no hate responses?

My husband has been served child support papers and we live in California. The daughter in question is 15 years old and lives in another state. He is in the process of setting up a paternity test with the court. If in fact he is the father, will he be responsible for the last 15 years of back pay? Also, he has been out of work for 3 years and I have been supporting us financially. Will I be responsible for helping him pay child support?

can I take my son in for a paternity test without my wife knowing?we are married and I don't have any reason to do it,but am just curious on if they need dna swab from both parents or just me and my son???Just for useless knowledge not cause I want to do it....

Scenario: Woman tells guy she had a one-night stand with that she is pregnant with his child, and he (stupidly) agrees to pay her child support without any sort of paternity test. Not only is he not the father, but she knows (from the start) that he is not the father.

She has INARGUABLY committed the crime of theft by fraud, right? Yeah, he may be an idiot. Yeah, he should watch where he puts his private parts - but fundamentally, she is receiving money from him by telling him a lie, right? Is that not the definition of fraud? The fact that she may be using the money for a child that he had nothing to do with does not change her culpability for this lie, does it?

Now, clearly the life of the child is paramount, and sending the primary custodian to jail would be a problem, but if she had committed an unrelated murder, we'd send her to jail and the kid would be "out on the streets", right? Primary custodians are not above the law just because society cares about its children, right?

Unfortunately, if you look at current case law, you might think differently. We just recently had a case where the guy went to jail because he was unable to make his payments, and he turned out not to be the father. Yes, the court said he didn't have to continue making his payments now that they knew he was not the father, but nothing (so far) has been done about the time he spent in jail or the money he has already paid.

Personally, I think this is a great argument for mandatory paternity tests before any child support decrees are made.

Legally and morally, how is telling a lie under these circumstances any different than borrowing your neighbor's kid, misrepresenting him as yours and the guy's and demanding child support?
I guess I'm not really asking what either the man or the woman SHOULD do. Clearly she shouldn't have lied. Clearly he should have demanded proof.

I'm really asking what our courts should do, and how society should treat this.
The scenario specifically states "she knows" - that isn't part of the question. If you want me to make it more specific, how about "he was drunk and she knew that she didn't have sex with him but she told him she did."

She knows. Take it as fact.
Kylie, why is not the same as using the neighborhood kid? Because she is doing it for the kid? There are plenty of reasons why people commit crimes. If we're going to balance punishment against need, are we going to give nastier penalties to white collar criminals than thugs holding up donut shops to survive?

I had a relationship with this guy, won't mention his name, and in the time we were together i got pregnant to him by mistake. He is a lawyer and a massive a hole. He turned into a huge ahole the moment i told him i was going to keep the baby. Im 38 yrs so it was now or never. He said i will be going thru it on my own without his support, So i did. My daughter is now 16months and the most gorgeous little girl, she is a blessing. I believe her father should pay child support, but he won't. He said it was my choice to have her, so its my resposiblity to suppport her. I asked him if he would agree to a paternity test and he said no. I told him he should help support her financially but he said thats extortion and if i went ahead with child support he would take her off me. He's a lawyer and he said he would do all he could to take her off me if i force him to pay. I'm worried this ahole will take her off me or get access to her, he would mistreat her and i dont want that. jo

My child's father was ordered to take a paternity test and pay child support by his chain of command. He now has a new 1st sgt, and says he is making him cut out his BAH. He was married until recently, so he says that is where the difference is coming from. He claims he has been advised by JAG to stop paying for a while, and cutting his BAH down to partial. I need to know how much of this is Bologna, and how much is true. He has not been in her life much, though I have been trying to take her to see him and everything, but he always has something else to do like going on dates. I don't know what to do at this point. My husband is military as well, but he is in Iraq right now, and I don't want to bother him. Please, any advice, especially if you are stationed at Ft Bragg, that is even better. Thank you.
