| Both my daughter and I are disabled. Now my daughter’s father who is not legally listed as her dad took a DNA sample from her without even bothering to inform me. Can you tell me if there is any law that allows this? I personally think that what he did was not correct in that, he was invading her privacy. The poor girl is just nine years old and as mentioned he is not her legal father. We were married about eight years ago, but I think we have lived together for over a year only. He had many girlfriends even then and they were of more importance to him than us. Now he is suing me for the sake of my daughter and child support. |
Anonymous CommenterOf course a so called father can conduct a DNA test without getting the mother’s permission, but mind you there are many clauses to conduct a legal testing. If the alleged father wants to conduct a Legal DNA Paternity Test, the persons involved have to be sent to a local collecting facility in order that the samples are collected. But here the supposed to be father cannot sign for the child as he has no legal authority over her. Only if he is the signatory in the birth certificate can he sign on her behalf. So in that case the mother will be in the know of things from start to finish. But if he only wants a DNA test, which is not admissible in court then he can collect a sample from the child and send it over for testing.
