No, it is considered a gift. Unfortunately, Paternity Fraud is a crime that does pay. Google it.
It's possible. You need to speak to a lawyer in your state who can help you. The biological father could be ordered to pay you and you could give his money to your ex.
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.
By Canadian Law if the mother of the child purposely did not contact the biological father and she married and her husband adopted the child and the biological father found out then yes, he can take you to court. If he can prove he's reliable, holds down a good job, is not into drugs and contributes to society then yes, he can have some rights. It will take a court of law and two lawyers to fight this one. The bottom line is ... "What is good for the child?"
That means there has been found a match to the child's DNA and the person tested has been predicted to be the biological father.
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.
As long as one knows who his father is. Otherwise, you're just determining they are brothers.
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.
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.
check your birth certificate. your last name isn't necessarily your biological father's last name.
Paternity DNA testing is performed by collecting DNA from the children and the potential father through swabbing some DNA from the inside of the cheeks. More information can be found online or from your doctor.
First you go to court to get a court ordered DNA test unless the mother is willing to provide one. If you after that is found not to be the biological father and has paid child support there is a chance you can sue the biological father for the amount you have paid for the child depending on if you know who he is, how much time has passed and what the laws says where you live. Speak to a lawyer about your case.
