Can you get a paternity test on a child that is almost 18 because you just found out she is not yours?

Paternity tests are usually done in order to establish legal responsibility for child support. But this particular child will very soon be legally an adult and the issue of child support becomes moot. If it's just a matter of your personal curiosity, that is not sufficient for a court to order a paternity test. Of course, you can still request one. But the child in question can decline. In any event, you state that you have found out that she is not yours. That being the case, you already know. What, then, is the purpose of the test? To confirm something you already know? It hardly seems necessary.

The unwed father was found dead. Can the mother represent the minor child in a class action law suit if the decedent had the mother of his child listed on his contact information?
She must consult with an attorney. His paternity must be established legally before the child can have any standing as his heir. The listing of contacts is not proof of paternity.

Who has primary custody of child?
If married both do. If not married the mother has it until the father has been to court to establish paternity and filed for visitation or custody. If it's not the parents because the court have found them unfit, it can be a relative or someone else.
He signed his rights away then found out he was not the biological father can he take the mother to court to get the paid child support back?
No, it is considered a gift. Unfortunately, Paternity Fraud is a crime that does pay. Google it.
How can paternity testing be determined using blood types?
A child inherits factors or genes from each parent that determine his or her blood type. This fact makes blood typing useful in paternity testing. The blood types of the child, mother, and alleged father are compared to determine paternity.
Can you sue for back child support if you never filed?
Generally you cannot unless there are extenuating circumstances. Some examples of such are if the father was not able to be found and/or a paternity test had not been taken to prove who fathered the minor child.
What happens if there is an order for child support and it turns out the mother lied and the man is not the child's father?
If the mother knew the man was not the biological father and still attested to that fact she could be charged with perjury, a very serious offense. If the man was paying support and found out he was not the biological father he would need to obtain proof of such through paternity testing (usually DNA). He would then need to file suit against the mother of the child and present the paternity evidence in order to recover his financial loss.
Can blood test prove paternity?
Yes, a blood test can be used to determine paternity with a high level of accuracy. The test compares genetic markers found in the child's blood sample with those from the potential father to establish a biological relationship. This type of test is commonly known as a DNA paternity test.
What if custodial parent is found to not be the biological father and there is no previous custody agreement does he loose all his rights and have to give the child back to its mother?
How can he be the custodial parent if there's no custody order? His relationship with the child would be the primary factor here. If he didn't know, Paternity Fraud may be an issue for the mother.
What is an almost complete binary tree?
An almost complete binary tree is a tree in which each node that has a right child also has a left child. Having a left child does not require a node to have a right child. Stated alternately, an almost complete binary tree is a tree where for a right child, there is always a left child, but for a left child there may not be a right child.The number of nodes in a binary tree can be found using this formula: n = 2^h Where n is the amount of nodes in the tree, and h is the height of the tree.
I just found out that I am the biological father of a child in state's custody how do I get custody?
If you're a single father, you have no assumed rights to the child until paternity has been established by a court of jurisdiction. As such that will need to be your first step. Then, if the child is in the custody of the state you can petition for custody to be transferred to you. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law who can review your situation and explain your options.
Who has legal custody of minor child in Colorado when parents have never married?
An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.
