I live in NYC and I was just wondering what the process will be since he refuses to take a paternity test when the baby is born. Not because he thinks the baby is his but because his mom told him I can't take him for child support that way. Also, how early can I file for sole LEGAL custody (not just physical) and possibly child support?
Not really worried about child support... So baisicly getting sole legal custody of my son will be easier without a DNA test?

Here is the story I'm getting:

10 years after sleeping with someone once, wages begin getting garnished from his paycheck. He goes to court to find out what the deal is and is told that he missed his court appearance and therefore is now the legal guardian of a kid whose mom apparently put him on the birth certificate but never told him. She apparently never had any contact with him during the pregnancy then she showed him the kid once after it was born and mentioned he could be the dad but refused to get a paternity test. She said the kid didn't look like him, there could be a lot of dads, and then never contacted him again. The court appointed attorney says that they sent someone to his address to subpoena him as well as put in in the paper and he didn't show up so he is the legal guardian. He says he was no longer living at the address and never read it in the paper so he never knew he was supposed to show up to court. Both the court appointed attorney as well as a private lawyer hired years later tell him that there is a loophole in the law and because he did not show up to court, he is the legal guardian and must pay child support now no matter what; even if he was to obtain a negative paternity test now. This all took place in Texas to the best of my knowledge.

This sounds insane to me. Could this possibly be true?!?

I have a son and his b.i.t.c.h of a mom wont let my name be on the birth certificate so I want to prove he's mine so I can put my name on his birth certificate and start fighting to get him away from her. She's a terrible person who will only raise a terrible person.

A mother recieves positve pregnancy test and the father of the baby replies "I want nothing to do with your baby or you anymore. I think it's very selfish of you to bring a child into this world without a father." He leaves, abandons the pregnancy, the birth, the child, the mother, for six years. In hopes that he has changed and/or gotten his life together, the mother contacts him and invites him to meet his 5 1/2 year old daughter. He makes 3 visits, clearly has few parenting skills, has not had contact w/ any of his other children for years. Mom realizes perhaps she has made a mistake inviting him in and voices a desire to decrease length of future visits due to adverse, unhappy behavioural reactions in their child. He threatens to gain half-time custody legally. He does not have a leg to stand on in court to receive 50% custody. Even if he is awarded any time is he or is he not responsible for back child support of the six years he was absent?
I am not looking for free $$$. I have
provided a great life for my daughter without him.I thought she might benefit from getting to know him. In 3 visits, numerous & lengthy phone calls, and several emails-he has made it clear he is a liar, mind-game player, con-artist and totally concerned with his own needs, desires and protection of his warped narcissistic life that is cradled in a thick web of non-truth that he continues to weave. I just want to protect my child.

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?
