Best Answer

After the baby is born the father can go to court and request a paternity test. If the test confirms the father's paternity he can request custody and a visitation order and the court will establish a child support order. The mother cannot refuse to obey the court orders that establish the father's rights. If she does, she could eventually lose custody.

What is the probability that a paternity test will be correct?

As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct. A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.

What do you do when you are divorcing your husband who is not the biological father of your child and the child's real father does not want to be involved?

Parents are responsible for supporting their children even if they don't want to be "involved" with the child. Paternity can be established by a court ordered DNA test. You only need to request a court order so that the biological father's paternity can be established legally. Once paternity has been established the court can issue a child support order. You should discuss the issue with an attorney who specializes in family law, perhaps the one who is representing you in your divorce. Conceiving a child in an extra-marital affair creates a complicated legal situation for all the parties involved.
