OK I was with a girl for like a year never married and she claiming the child is mine but I know its not. I signed a voluntary paterinty and paying support how do I get a dna test t prove its not mine and how do I stop support??

How old is the child? Your going have to go to court to get a DNA test but why did you sign the paternity acknowledge if you had doubts that you was the father?

You better go to the court fast because in most states there is a time limit on these things from the time the child is born. Some states have a limit of 2 years after the child is born.

Good luck. If you're in Wisconsin and you signed a voluntary paternity admission, you just waived any right to a DNA test or any claim that the child isn't yours.

Why did you sign if you didn't believe the child was yours?

You now have to petition in family court for a paternity test. If the test is negative they youhave to petition to remove your name as legal father and end support.

It's not that easy in every state, Scott. Some states, such as Wisconsin, won't even let you get that far if you signed an admission. By signing that admission you waive your right to ask for a DNA test, you waive your right to claim the child isn't yours, you waive a lot of your rights. That's why DNA tests are critical before signing anything.

Even if it wasn't supposed to be mailed why did you sign it? But the bottomline is you need to petition the court to have paternity determined. Assuming your local laws allow

That just sounds like an excuse to me. So what if she mailed it? You signed it and you knew what you were doing.

What state do you live in?

But they r asking me to up with $750 for gal fees? Y can't I just use an at home test?

There is no such thing as a DNA home test. DNA testing has to be done by an accredited lab.

No a home test will not hold up in court.

I live in WI

You I right it signed regardless now what do I do

There is at home dna testing kits u cn buy at ne cvs pharmacy

Then legally, you shouldn't even be able to take this to court. It says right on the slip of paper: Do not sign if you do not believe the child is yours and also outlines all of the rights that you are surrendering by signing that paper. If you signed that admission and it was submitted to the state, then that's the end of it. Your child or not, you're going to be paying support until that baby is 18.

He is talking about those fly by night tests that you can order online. Then you send it back, they do the test, and mail you their finding. This holds no weight in court.

I did petition court and reopened case but they still have me paying even though I contestin paternity and they want me t pay $750 for gal fees before they assign a gal t my case and then it'll be up to the gal wheather it in the best interest oif the child and by the way the child will be one in nov

Is there nethang I can do?

Yes, you can buy a home "paternity" test but it's not going to hold up in court. The court will perform an unbiased test, which is why they want you to pay fees.

I still can't see how you even legally got this far. You can't waive your rights and then get them back. Did the court somehow miss that you signed the paternity admission?
