    Forced dna
    My daughter has a son who is now 1 yr old. An old boyfriend has come out of the woodwork and claims to be the father. However, he has not been in the picture during the pregnancy or this first yr. Of course, no financial aid has come from him either. He has recently seen the child and realized "hey this kid is cute". He informed my daughter last night he is going to force her to have a DNA test done. Is this possible? We live in the state of SC --I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated./

    Since he was not listed on the because (I assume), for him to have any rights to the child, paternity has to be established. For her to get any support, paternity has to be established.

    So either way a DNA test has to be done.

    Now, he could acknowledge paterntiy, she could agree and he could be listed as the legal father. Then he could pay support and have visitation without going to court, but I think that's a mistake. This should be formalized by a court.

    If she doen't go along with it voluntarily then the judge will order her to. Then when the results come back a support order and visitation order will be put in place if they show he is the father and if they show he isn't the father then she will be free to go until she applies for assistance (if ever needed) then they will make her do a search for the father.
