This is a rather peculiar case. I would like to know if a paternity test can be done if one is no longer alive. He has been cremated too. The other parent is carrying. She would like that the father’s name be on the birth certificate. The point to remember is that they have never been married.


Now you have another option that you may want to try out. If the biological father is not there for a paternity test, then you could do the same test on either his parents or his brothers or sisters to know if they are your baby’s grandparents or aunts or uncles. Now if your husband had any other biological child you can even test their samples to know if they are half or full siblings. You have all these choices in front of you, but in all these tests taking a mother’s sample will be of utmost help during the testing procedures. Now if you are planning to do the test before the birth of your baby, then you will have to get it done either by Amniocentesis or CVS.
