JMA offers DNA Paternity Testing
Today I want to cover the topic of DNA Paternity Testing. While I was browsing the internet about this topic. I have read over many blogs, forums, etc.
I have noticed that some women absolutely do not like the fact of having a DNA test done at birth. While I was reading over all this information I also found that almost all Men that are "not sure" prefer to have a DNA test done at birth. So why does this cause such a conflict with the mother and potential father?
Example 1, Mother and Father are not married and Father is "not sure" and would like to have a DNA test done before signing the birth certificate. What is wrong with requesting a DNA test? Not a thing!
Example 2, Mother and Father are married and the Father is 90% sure he is the father. Should he request a DNA test? If he is in doubt then absolutely!
Example 3, Mother gives birth but is unsure of the Father. By locating and tracking down the potential Father we can ask that they take a DNA test to confirm that they are or are not the Father. While we, JMA, can not force anyone to take the DNA test, a judge can order the potential Father to take a DNA test.
What we have to keep in mind, regardless if we are the mother or the father, is that we need to make sure the best interest of the child comes first and then the best interest of the Mother AND Father (equally).
While we can not provide any legal advise, I do base my suggestions or comments from my experience in the State of Florida. If you are unsure that you are the father, you do NOT have to sign the birth certificate. You CAN request a DNA test and you CAN have your name added to the birth certificate at a later time. Once you sign your name, you are the responsible for the child even if he/she is not yours. It is always better to be safe then sorry!
Should you have any questions regarding DNA testing please give us a call.
