I tried to get paternity for a child 10 years ago and she was a no show, also there was another man claiming to be the father. She did not show for the court appointed paternity hearing I assumed she did not show because I was not the father come to find the mother was with holding the papers from the court, isn't that ilegal? What is the best way to prove paternity? And do I have any rights if proven I am the father? The 10 year old girl is calling and chatting with me on Facebook, don't want to get her hopes up do to the situation but would like to astablish paternity and quick and cheap as posible.

That was the ex girlfriends mother that was witholding the court papers
