Paternity Question
Posted: 04-04-04 05:00am

For example: if I were to get preggy for josh and he would say it wasn't his. But I would know it could only be his!!!! Can I get the courts to issue a paternity test if he's not willing to take one? Can't I like, tell them he's denying my child and I was dna and (i know they cost!!) can't they order one???

Thanks,
chanda

Hey chanda


I think they would issue one well order for one to be put in place.... If he is the one doubtin then he would be financily responsible for it... They cost 600 bucks if u go through dna diagnostic.. 600 canadian anyways

Yea, they are cheaper down here in the states...But, u could take him to court and get a dna test ordered and if he fails to take it he will get thrown in jail until he complies with the order :d---and he has to pay for it, im pretty sure...

I think ya'll are right. But, I think if he's denying the child and it's his then he will have to pay. But if you test and it's not his, you will have the bill. I think that is how it works, but I wasn't sure.
Love,
chanda

Yes he would be forced to go! If he didnt show up after 3 scheduled paternity tests they would automatically determine him as the father legally and he would have to pay child support. If he wanted to take one later he would have to petition the court and try to make you go if you were not willing.

Not exactly jill. Um, i'm not one of those people who scream "i think i'm pregnant" every other month! But...... I think I may be pregnant.....
Unnn, josh and I had sex the last time on feb 19, inprotected. Yes, I knew he wasn't wearing the condom I gave him!!!!!!
I haven't had a peroid since then..... I was due for one around the 20th of feb and around that time in march and I haven't had either........ Now, with things as bad as they are with us..... I don't want to know. I don't think I want to be....
I judt dunno.
Why didn't I tell everyone? Nothing personal. I don't like to get peoples hopes up or anything, or excited or anything......I dunno. I'm confused.
And people tell me to just get over him.....Hmmmm, eaiser said than done!

If I am....I'll 100% have and raise my child. With or without joshua. I just, I know I can do it. I just don't think I want to be.....Because I don't want all the caca that will come along with him. My child would have a 1/2 sibling.....Awwww the crap would just mount......
Jill, you wern't prying. I wanted to tell you all. I really did. I guess just saying " I might be preggy" makes me think.....It really is possible..... And I don't know if I like that or not.....
Love,
chanda

I know what you mean! It seems like I would be worried about being pregnant every month and the month before I really did get pregnant I thought I was for sure and I had jesse all excited then I started and it made him all sad so when I thought I was the next month I took the test first before getting his hopes up. I know its scarey right now but if I were you I would get a test and find out then let josh know and let him decide what he is going to do. Good luck again hun!! Smile
