The standard is 30 days to respond to a summons. A Paternity test order is a summons to appear at a designated location, such as a specific DNA Testing Clinic for sampling. If the potential father does not appear, the court could decide to issue a second summons, or what is far more common, enter a default order of paternity, and a potential default order for child support. It is not in the best interest of their client for the opposing attorney to make this easy, or not wait until the last minute.

The courts keep a list of certified clinics that they accept evidence from. You could contact the Judge's Secretary about making your own appointment.

If you are the potential father, you need to consider obtaining your own legal representation. Child support amounts are not mandatory. A rebuttal presumption argument can be made to pay more or less than the guideline amount. The opposing attorney will be entering evidence to benefit their client, which could be detrimental to you. That attorney is not your friend.

A properly prepared attorney will know how to oppose these arguments, and what to present on your behalf. The difference, even for a minimum wage earner, could be substantial over the life of the order. Also, a less experienced (cheaper) attorney with an experience paralegal, can be as effective as an experienced one. You just need to learn how to find one.

The law varies in different jurisdictions and important details are missing. Generally, it depends on whether the father has established his paternity and then exercised his parental rights by requesting joint custody and/or a visitation schedule. If the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody until the father has established his paternity legally, in court.The law varies in different jurisdictions and important details are missing.

Does an illegitimate child have a claim against an estate if paternity has not been established or recognised can paternity be enforced if said child is an adult?

Paternity may not be legally established on hearsay, at least not in the United States. If paternity is established for legal purposes via DNA testing or other means posthumously, you may have grounds to challenge the estate, but that would depend on the law where you reside. Generally, you would have a delineated period of time in which to do so (in my area, it is 6 months or any claims are forever barred). When in doubt, contact an attorney.

Can a father take his child from the grandparents if no custody order is in place the mother has hid from him for a year and will not give him an address to serve custody papers?

No. Assuming the parents are unmarried, the father must establish his paternity in order to establish his parental rights. This is a serious and complicated situation, legally. If he just takes the children at this point, it will go against him later. He should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The attorney can review the entire situation by hearing all the details.If the child is in the custody of grandparents without any court order to that effect, the attorney can help the father establish his paternity and request an emergency temporary custody order while the issue of permanent custody is being adjudicated. The father must do everything right now and it will work out better for him in the long term.

You have been paying child support for a child that is not yours. Can you sue the real father of the child?

No. The biological father may not have known he was the father. Also, he did not file a petition for child support against you- the child's mother did. If you had any doubts you were the father, and if the child's mother was sexually active with other men at the time of conception, you could have requested a paternity test at the onset. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws.
