How do you respond to a request for a paternity test?
Depends.
The first step is to call a lawyer. A paternity test is usually performed when
there is uncertainty about the identity of a child's father. The mother may
suspect that the man who has been identified as the father is not the
biological father and wants to have a test done to confirm her suspicions.
Sometimes, a man who was previously identified as the father may want to have a
paternity test to confirm his status as the biological father.
In either case, it is important to know how you should respond to such a request. When someone asks you for a paternity test, you need to carefully consider whether or not you agree with their demands. If you believe that the person asking for the test is lying, you should consider how difficult it would be - and how much money it would cost - to prove them wrong in court. If you agree that they are not lying and want them to have a paternity test, then it will probably be easy for you to arrange and pay for one without too much difficulty or expense. Child support payments are ordered in many cases by judges who base their decisions on DNA test results alone. This means that if someone does lie about who the biological parent of a child is, then they could end up paying child support for a child who isn't theirs for many years unless they come clean immediately or can prove it.
When getting a request for a paternity test, you are likely facing some stress. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the pile of legal paperwork that is likely sitting on your desk, or you might be concerned about the impact this test will have on your child's life. But what if I told you that requesting a paternity test can be beneficial to everyone involved?
