Best Answer

If the father is listed as the father on the baby's birth certificate, a court will be reluctant to order him to take a paternity test. If he is not listed as the father on the birth certificate, you can file a lawsuit to order him to prove (or disprove) his paternity through a paternity test.

No. Paternity testing in utero is very expensive and poses a risk of miscarriage, infection, and premature labor on the mother and child. It's very rare for a court to order it. He however can easily get a court order for testing shortly after birth.

There is no need to demand a paternity test. Just buy a test in the privacy and comfort of your home. Results are returned in five to seven days after the sample is submitted to an AABB lab.

How do you legally ask for a paternity test?

Send the alleged father a letter via certified mail, return receipt requested, asking that he submit to a paternity test. If he refuses, you will have to file a paternity lawsuit, where the court will order him to take a paternity test. If you must file a lawsuit, you should see a family law attorney.
