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

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..

is there any websites for paternity tests and how much do they cost someone was telling me i can prolly get one for cheap or go thro the court how do i go about doing this because my boyfriend wants a paternity test to make sure hes the father of his exwifes child

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

and for the record i did not knock someone up being dum.....so dont insult me

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.

My friend slept with a girl June 21st and she is telling him he is the father of her child that is due on April 21st. Time wise it doesn't fit. He is taking care of her now but we also know she slept with someone before him and apparently after as well based on the due date alone. He is going to wait until the baby is born to have the paternity test done there at the hospital, but how much does it cost?

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?

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.

No duh, that is my point.

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!

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....

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.

I have been ordered (by Arizona child support) to pay child support, in which I has fallen way behind on. I was married to the mother for over 7 years, and shortly after the child was born my wife moved to Arizona (with child). The child is now 17 years old. The support order is based off my earnings when I worked in Massachusetts (17 years ago). I havn't made that kind of money since then. I now feel that the child might not even be mine. I don't make much money now, and can’t afford legal fees to pursue this. I am a vet.
Is there any way Ican get assistance to have a paternity test done?

I just found out that a child I have seen once is my son. My ex-girlfriend had a baby and he is now 4 years old. My name is not in the birth certificate, but I know he is mine just by his looks. I have not gotten a paternity test yet, but if the babys moma wants to come after me for child support does that mean I have to pay back child support. Note: she has not had any benefits from the state nor goverment for the child.

My fiance has 2 go 2 court for a paternity test! And i would like 2 know how it works!!

My husband's ex wife had child in NC while she was still legally married to my husband. His name is now on the child's birth certificate because she was still married to him. He didn't know anything about this until recently now that she is trying to put the child's biological father on child support. To my knowledge, NC law states that the husband goes on a birth certificate even if he's not the father. She contacted child support in NC and said she was told that the father on the certificate must take a paternity test to be removed before they can go after the biological father. Is this correct? Secondly she is having the child support case sent to Louisiana because that's where she think my husband is located, and she said Louisiana child support law says that my husband will be responsible for not only the child whose birth certificate he's on but also her other child. The biological father of the second child is the same man for the first child. He signed an affidavit since they was not married with the second child to have his name put on the birth certificate. The confusing part to me is how will my husband be responsible for a child/children that is not his, and why should he take a paternity test if the biological father is coming forward saying that both kids are his? Can her and the kids biological father get this matter taken care of on their own without involving my husband? Can each party sign an affidavit acknowledging that my husband is not the father and have the biological father state that he is the father?

Do you have to pay child support if you donate to a sperm bank and they use your sperm? And is there any way to get out of it, like a paternity test?

Help! (bad situation)

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?!?

If a woman were to get a paternity test while pregnant, would the father have to give blood or is there any other way to give his DNA? How dangerous is getting an CVS if between the ages of 18-25?

My sister in laws fiance has reason to believe that the baby my sister in law is due with (like literally today) isn't his baby. He refuses to put the baby on his insurance until he knows if the baby is his (my sister in law is getting state insurance for now). As well as refusing to marry her until he knows who's the baby is. I don't know anyone who has ever had to do a paternity test or anything. I am really just curious how long it takes to have one done, who pays for it and how much it costs. Any ideas?

- took a paternity test in september, now this is where the case is, but now I have a hearing but did not receive my test results.
The case was done thru the oFFICE OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES. -
