Oops I did didn't I... well its been interresting

Never said it did "make it so", only that is how I feel... my feeling, it has been picked apar since I said it in the initial statement. Nothing to do with my legal question, but sure has stirred up a hornets nest

This is a legal section, and of course people here will often discuss and argue specific words, and the meanings of those words. That is what law is all about, discussion of specific meanings.

And I have honestly enjoyed it, thank you

Have a look around and check the other sections also. Welcome to AMHD.

@ scpierce. I agree with you 100%. I am not a lawyer but my father is going through the same situation. The people on here did attack you and they are wrong for doing so. They say the laws are built off the Bible well in the Bible it say "Thou shall not judge" yet we have judges to judge ones actions, Lawyers who bend the truth to get the judge or jury who judges to find you guilty or not guilty. Smh They can't point a finger. You do have the God given right to know. He changed his number well get it legally and call him back and talk to the wife and let them know what these lawyers said about the paper your mom signed not holding up in court and tell her you just want to know about if he is or isn't and about his Medical history. They have LEGAL sites where you can get information about people on the internet. You mat have to pay a fee but if you really search you'll find all the information you need for free. Like Numbers and addresses oh and kids neighbors even criminal history. Get back in touch with him and convince him to et it done and over with... :)

Thank you for your input, I did locate his number and have his address, he acts so immature in this situation and his finger pointing and such, he misses my whole point. It's pretty sad to see a grown man to act this way. I may try again.

This question was posted in the Family LAW forum here. Responses here have to conform to actual statute. While you may feel the OP has a "God Given" right to know. The law says otherwise. If the question had been posted in a different forum, your response may have been appropriate. In this forum it is not.

You tell the OP to get the new # legally. How do you propose to do that? If its an unlisted # or a cell number there is no way to get it legally and no court will compel him to give it.

And the OP was not "attacked", disagreed with yes, but not attacked.

Also if he has told her not to bother him and she continues, he can get a restraining order or a protective order against her. *** which will not really look good on her record.

The mom should have, could have or would have, done many things, but she did not. A adult child except in rare cases has no standing in law, to require a DNA test of another adult.

I am angry with all the people that answered with hostility. I have the very same situation. There apparently is no legal recourse but yes, we do have the right to know who our parents are , We do have the right to medical history and we do have the right to not be humiliated by having to say to ANYONE , I do not know for fact who my father is. Not because we do not know but because there is no proof. Morally if not legally , WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT!

I'd be happy to read who/what/where you got that right.

You're on a legal board - we take pride in our answers. Your righteous indignation helps no one.

If you want to preach morals, go on another thread.

If you want to know how the law reads, post here.

Maybe your father doesn't want you to know who he is.

I don't have any proof that my father is who my mother says he is, other than that she said he is. And he RAISED me.

I would never even THINK of asking for a DNA test to "prove" he's my father.

Your issue is with your MOTHER, not your father and not the justice system. Either you believe her or you don't. If you don't like the fact that your MOTHER doesn't know who your father is--you need to seek counseling, not a lawyer. The LAW doesn't guarantee you ANY such right.

Normally I would have removed your post since it was posted a thread over a year old. But your anger and indignation deserves addressing.

The title of this forum is Family LAW. Answers here have to conform to statutory law. We agree that you have a right to medical history. But you do not have a legal right to anything else. And if there was any hostility in this thread it was due to people claiming a legal or even moral right that they do NOT have. Morally a person has the right to privacy. That right supercedes any rights you think you have.

Apparently you did not read the post.. you know the issue that my father denied me and I have learned I have a right to my medical history and if he denies and I cannot prove I cannot get the medical history..

Great your situation has been perfect, not everyone is that blessed..

Huh?

You started this thread some time ago. But recently, somebody else, "Tonyasquire", picked it up. Synnen was responding to Tony, not you.

So why should Synnem read your post to respond to Tony?

He is passing judgement on others who he knows nothing about and I feel he was wrong to assume where the issue lies. There was not enough detail to come to that conclusion only his opinion and since this IS a law providing thread, opinions are irrelevant, as was already stated by so many willing to throw their opinions around. Sorry if you feel that I am wrong, but I do not. This has turned into a bashing session over the past year and perhaps they could discuss their opinions of this matter else where.

I thought SHE said very clearly that the law does not grant you the right to demand to know (or know) anything about your parents.

Who is he?

The fact is the law does not guarantee the right to know your biological parents. In many cases, you can get medical history info, but that is all. This was how you were answered when the question was originally posted.

Recently the thread was revived by Tony and HIS post was responded to similarly. I suggest you review my response to tony in post 33.
