Yes, your legal counsel should discuss such issues throughly with you before the trial is commenced, including the percentage the firm will receive if it is a contingency case, the approximate length of time the trial will take, and so forth. Never be hesitant to ask any questions, your attorney works for you.

How long do you have to get a DNA for paternity after it has been ordered by the court and the attorney against you is suppose to schedule the DNA test in Louisiana?

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.
