Alleged Father

Question: Help with adoption when alleged father is not so willing? My niece is pregnant and wants me to adopt her baby as she can not care for her. The alleged father is not so willing to do this. He wants to stop the procedures. Any information or knowledge would be helpful! Okay. I left out the part that they already have one child together and he doesn't support that child. He doesn't have a job and isn't looking for one. Calling a lawyer in the morning. I obviously looked in the wrong place for any knowledge. I was hoping to get some information on adopting not everyone's opinion on me adopting !

Answer: If he wants to raise his child, it is 100% in his power to do it if he is a fit parent. There is no reason for this child to be adopted by you if proves paternity, which it sounds like will happen. Good for him for stepping up! If he is the father, and wants to parent...there really is nothing you can do. Which is how it should be.

Question: Can I have an alleged father sign off on his parental rights and pursue another paternity action in court? The alleged father signed the affadavit of parentage and now it is believed that he may not be the father of the child. Can he sign off and have a paternity test ordered for another person?

Answer: get the dna test done first. then the mom or the courts will decide who to test next.

Question: What if an alleged father don't take a dna test if the court has ordered it? Also what if he never showed up for court (including the first time) after a petition has been filed against him for child support? If the mother has personally located the father can she call the police and get him arrested, or do the police have to wait until he does something wrong such as a traffic violation? Any experiences would be appreciated.

Answer: Then he is in contempt of court. The judge will issue what is called a "bench warrant" and once the 'father' is picked up, he will he be held in jail until he complies with the DNA testing, and is brought before the court. Usually bench warrants are "on sight" arrest warrants, which means that the Police will not seek him out, rather they will wait until he is stopped for a traffic violation or some other contact with the Police, and then he will be picked up. Additionally in most states, the DMV will suspend his driver's license.

Question: What is the possibilty of a baby being born with rh- blood, if the mother is o+ and the alleged father is o-? Involved in a dispute. The mother says she is 0+, and that her baby is only rh-. The man that she says is the father is o-. What is the possibility of this happening, because I've been told that a mother with positive blood cannot have a baby with negative blood. "I also know that there is no such thing as a blood type being rh-, as she says her baby is".

Answer: The mother could be Rh+/Rh- so she would still be positive but could pass along her - allele. The father would have to have at least 1 negative allele and since he is Rh-/Rh-, he is good. The possibility is if she has the aforementioned blood is 50%, she could pass along 1 or the other. If we do not know if she is Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh-, we can figure out that she has a 2/3 probability of being Rh+/Rh- (Punnet square). Therefore, we times 2/3 by 1/2, or 2/6 or a 1/3 probability. Definitely reasonable odds.

Question: how long does an alleged father have to file for a paternity test in indiana? after a child is born, how long after that does a man who thinks he is the father have to file for a paternity test?

Answer: for the rest of that child's life.

Question: What happens to an alleged father if he never appears in court for child support.? He is served but don't want to have anything to do with the baby including going to court even to fight it. So what happens to him if he don't fight it? Im a woman asking this question.

Answer: ADVICE TO THE ALLEDGED FATHER: I SUGGEST YOU APPEAR ACCORDING TO THE PAPERS YOU WERE SERVED. Otherwise, the court can issue a bench warrant for your arrest. The court simply wants to ask you some questions. If your are, as you say, not the father of the child and not the guardian and not living with the mother or the guardian, you may not have any problem. Do not be a fool: get an attorney to represent you, it could be your cheapest option. We must live with the choices we make. I hope you make a wise one in this matter.

Question: How many DNA markers have to match the alleged father? My son matches 8 out of the 11 genetic markers of this person. I'm using my son's 12 numbers from a previous test and comparing them to this man's 11 that he gave me from a test with someone else. So would the reports be relevant if I'm using the same locus numbers? And should all 11 match?

Answer: 11

Question: Is a paternity test possible if alleged father is dead? Could close family members be used for accurate DNA testing? Sources appreciated. @ Doodlestuff - the reasoning behind the testing is irrelevant. I simply need to know if it is possible.

Answer: Absolutely DNA paternity testing is possible with out the alleged father. If the alleged father is not available, the alleged father's parents (the paternal grandparents) can be used. In these cases, it's best to include the biological mother, as well as both of the paternal grandparents for the most accurate result. The alleged father's siblings (if they are full siblings) could also be used. These tests are more expensive than a standard paternity test.

Question: Can a mother keep a child away from his alleged father legally while dna test? results come back? They were never married. Well that just blows.

Answer: sure you can... but it'll make you look bad if the test comes back positive and he brings you to court for custody... you'll make it look like you're being selfish and that will work in his favour, not yours

Question: Myself along with the alleged father took a paternity test, and he is the father of my child which i already? knew. So, since he has never been in her life and never had anything to give me for her. What will happen in court? As far as visitation, custody and so on? My baby is almost 3. SHe has always been with me. please help me if anyone knows. Thanks!

Answer: He may get some visitation, but they'll start off slow and do what's in the best interest of the baby, you have to explain to the judge you've known he was the father told him and he still decided not to be in her life...etc.. you can however get him to pay child support. don't know ur situation but he may not want to be in her life, but u definitely need a court order, because he is the father and you guys are not married it's not considered kidnapping if he takes off with your kid, it's considered a civil matter, because neither one of you have a court order... Good Luck.

Question: Women: would you consent to a paternity test of your child if the father (or alleged father) requested it? Why or why not? Do you consider it a breach of trust, or a way to know the truth? If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?

Answer: I would in a heartbeat I would not want the father of my kids to have a dought in his head that the children did not belong to him because a part of him would always wonder and not be able to love the children and give to the children to his fullest because he would always wonder and there are some really evil woman in the world and we the good woman get the fall back of that by being asked for these tests but put yourself in a man's shoes we as woman know that baby is ours for obvious reasons these men in the world just don't so give him the peace of mind!!!!

Question: Can the alleged father of a child force the mother to allow a DNA test to be done on the child? I have a friend who is being accused of being the father of a woman's child. The woman admits she was trying to get pregnant and that she scoped him out at a bar to have intercourse with her so she could get pregnant. He was only with her a handful of times and she is saying he is the father. She has not let him see the child except for once when the child was 10 months old (now the child is 4 yrs old). She contacted him last year stating she felt guilty for keeping her son away from him and wanted to let them be a part of each other's lives. When he brought up taking a DNA test, she said if he doesn't believe that is his child, then he doesn't DESERVE to be the father. She moved away years ago without telling him where she was moving to. He really wants to be a part of the child's life if that is in fact his child. Can he force her to take the DNA test? Does anyone have any experience on this matter? Please help! The night they were together was their first time meeting each other. Other people have said she was with other guys also. She does admit she wanted to get pregnant and was going to no matter what she had to do. The alleged father lives in Louisiana and the mother lives in Texas. The mother is not asking for support for the child, she never has. I think the reason she isn't asking for support is because then she would be forced to do the DNA test or either she knows who the father is and it isn't my friend. I do know that if she is getting any kind of government assistance for the child and she puts down who she thinks the father is, they will either do the DNA test to prove he is the father or either he will be forced to pay child support, if he isn't already. My friend tried in the past to give her money to help with the baby, but she refused. She said she was the one that was raising the kid, no one else.

Answer: If he brings an action to establish paternity the court may order a DNA test. On the other hand, it may not given the 4-year delay -- except that it seems the mother absconded and concealed the child. The case would be decided on its facts; and perhaps at the discretion of the family court judge.

Question: Is it possible to have prenatal DNA testing done and have the 'alleged' father pay for all the costs? I say alleged because that is the term they use. Sorry for the confusion. There are no other people that could be possible father, just to clear the air. Just having some issues with the father right now and would love to get this out of the way and squared away!

Answer: Erika, the issue was not wether prenatal testing was possible. The question was wether you could force the "alleged" father to pay for all the costs and the answer to THAT question..... is no. Sorry hun, I suggest you re-read the question before going off on people.

Question: Women: would you consent to a paternity test of your baby if the father (or alleged father) requested it? Why or why not? Do you consider it a breach of trust, or a way to know the truth?

Answer: If my husband of eleven years were to ask, I would be a bit taken aback, yes. But if I weren't married and the father in question asked me to take a test, I would absolutely allow it. He has every right to know with 100% certainty that he is the father, and if I knew for a fact that it was his baby, I would have nothing to hide, right? I remember reading about a study that was done in the UK several years ago, in which they tested the DNA of many "known" fathers against the DNA of their babies (most or all of the couples were married), and something like 10-15% of the husbands turned out not to be the biological fathers of those children. Pretty shocking.

Question: Why would a woman wait after her one night stand baby is born to try to contact the alleged father? ? why not tell him about the pregnancy?

Answer: If you wait until after the baby is born it is easier to put a guy's name on the birth certificate and tag him for child support. Once the name is there it's a bear to get off. If he knows way ahead of time he will likely protest. I'm not saying that the non-father can't clear his name, it just takes court and tests, etc.

Question: What are some of the behavior signs that an alleged father faked an at-home DNA test? I don't want to wrongfully accuse him, but his behavior was strange. It was from a one-night stand almost 20 years ago and he didn't even remember me. I contacted him when my ex-husband was excluded as the father. After viewing a picture of the child, he then stated that he didn't want to handle the situation through child support services. I offered to pay for the at-home test. He questioned me about sleeping with an old high school friend of his and then agreed to take the test. The online company mailed him his packet and ours. He allegedly mailed his off and so did we. On that Thursday, 4 days before the results were even in, he called me to tell me that every woman in his life has hurt him, my child is probably a spoiled brat, and that he is moving . He said he would call the next day. He never did. He called me 3 days later to tell me to call the online company to get the results and that he was not the child's father. He then called his 80yr old mother and cursed her.

Answer: If you want the job done property then have it done professionally in a clinic or go and witness him doing the test. Of course he didnt want to handle it through child support services, he probably thinks you are just looking for him to pay 20 years worth of back child support. Put some more thought into it and try another approach.

Question: why would a woman wait after her one night stand baby is born to try to contact the alleged father? ? why not tell him about the pregnancy?

Answer: woman freak too. Maybe she never planed on telling and after the joy of having to baby she decided it was the right thing to do after all the father should know and the baby should have the chance of a dad in its life.

Question: The Mother's blood type is A, the son's type is O, and the alleged father is B.? A case involves the following: The Mother's blood type is A, the son is type O, and the alleged father is B. Could he be the father? Support your answer.

Answer: Yes, he could be the father. In order for the child to have type O blood, they must have two recessive O genes (OO). The mother, who is blood type A can either have the genes AA or AO. And the father who is blood type B can have the genes BB or BO. If the mother is AO and the father is BO, then the child can inherit the O gene from both their mother and father, giving them OO (blood type O). Hope that helps! :-)

Question: does a alleged father have to be in the same state as the child to perform a paternity test? and what is the most cost efficient way,what should i excpect to pay

Answer: If he is in another state and you are fighting him through the courts it can be difficult. There are ways to get jurisdiction over him even in the other state. He can take the test at any testing lab. The hard part will be getting it ordered by the courts.

Question: Should DNA test results decide which alleged father of Anna Nicole's daughter, gets custody and her millions? For example: What if Frederic Von Anhalt, Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, had a one night stand with Anna Nicole, commited adultry, and turned out to be the baby's biological father, should he get custody and Daniellynn's inheritance?

Answer: The biological father (DNA test) should get custody of the little girl (he is the father) and the money should be held in a trust, held by the court, for the little girl until she is 21. The father should be given an "allowance" to help support the little girl, kinda like "child support" payments, maybe $2000 per month and he should be able to ask for increases when the circumstances warrant the increases. Such as when she gets into school and he wants to have her in private school, he should have the trust pay for the tuition.
