Yes. However, if you are receiving Medicaid and/or TANF, your refusal might affect your eligibility.
Not if it is court ordered.
If it is ordered by the courts, and you do not have a good excuse why you will not. Then yes it is.
Believe me, if you were ordered by the court to take a paternity test, there is no "right" to refuse it. The alternative to "refusing" the courts order is to suffer the consequences of a charge of "Contempt of Court."
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.
Yes, she can refuse, but a judge will order the test if she is not married. If she is married, her husband is legally the father.
If you refuse court ordered visitation then you would be considered in contempt of court and a judge may issue a warrant for your arrest to face the charge. It could cost you money, or some time in jail and money.
When court ordered child support ,a father cannot refuse ,he should face lots of consequences,may be severe
My going to America was not of my seeking. I was ordered, and could not refuse, without incurring the odious name of backwardnessto serve my country in distress.
If the father have no court order for visitation she can refuse.
Yes you can! I have done so, and all attorneys I know will refuse you to take one too until it is court ordered!
You can visit the court in person and ask to speak with an advocate. You can file a petition for a court ordered DNA test. The court will assist you and the mother cannot refuse or she will be in contempt of a court order. You should act immediately.
