DNA test, merged several posts
Conception took place in PA, the mother was a resident of PA; the father was a resident of NJ. The adult child, now living in OR wishes to establish the father's paternity; the father is now living in FL. What court would have jurisdiction over such a case?
Is an adoption legal if the father does not know about the adoption? The adoption took place in Alaska. My son is now an adult. The father denied paternity. I didn't pursue paternity testing because the man threatened me. Can I now request a paternity test? Currently, I live in Alaska, the father lives in Florida; the child was conceived in PA and now lives in Oregon. If it is not too late where would I have to have the testing done? |

Depends, if the court made an attempt to contact you and could not find you, and they did a legal posting to notify you, it is possible that the adoption will be considered legal,
If they forged your name or did not try and contact you, it may be illegal. You will need to hire an attorney to review the paper work |

How old is the son, if he is still 18 or 19 you may be able to go back for a few years of child support, but once the person is grown there is no longer legal standing to determine paternity, the boy ( now man) and just ask the other person to let them see if they are.

If the father's whereabouts were unknown and a reasonable effort was made to contact him, then yes, the adoption could be legal. What constitutes a resonable effort may vary from area to area. The efforts made to contact the father should be part of the court record.

If your son is an adult I can't imagine any Family Court Judge ordering him to undergo paternity testing - people have difficulty getting an Order for DNA when it's a life-threatening medical emergency. I can't imagine DNA testing being ordered for no specific purpose when the "child" is, in fact, an adult. |

I know I just put some time into answering one of your other posts and now I find out the way I read it - or you presented it - is not exactly the situation. Why don't you post your concerns, your question, the facts and give us a fighting chance at getting it right - once. |

First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/feedba...ure-24951.html You also don't seem to understand how this site works. Sometimes we need more information to give you the best answer. We asked you for such info and your response was to give unfairly negative comments. The way the questions are now merged it hard to figure out which question I responded to. But to try and help you (though you really don't deserve it), the son should get an attorney to file the petititon for for paternity testing. The attorney will know where to file. Most likely, the son files in OR and if the father wants to fight he can request a move to FL courts. The second question I did answer in what is now response #6. But this still begs the question of what purpose it would serve to establish paternity at this point. If you can answer that we can advise whether its worth pursuing. |

[QUOTE=Comments on this post kitties3 disagrees: if you read the first question correctly, i wouldn't have had to re-phrase it..[/QUOTE]
Maybe if you just posted once instead of three times, with the same "facts" each time and didn't post DNA questions in the real estate forum some of us would have a fighting chance at providing the correct answer. |

Hello k:
Well, now that you've dissed my friends, I spose you're stuck with me. I don't think they're going to help you any more. So, why don't you tell me WHAT exactly you're trying to DO with this paternity established?? It's not just to hang on his wall, is it? He/YOU ain't going to get child support. Does the father have a lot of money?? What?? You can tell me... excon |
