Yes, a 40-year-old can sue their father for paternity, but it typically involves legal complexities. The individual would need to establish a valid reason for pursuing the case, such as inheritance rights or other legal benefits. Additionally, the court may require DNA testing to confirm biological relationships. The statute of limitations may also affect the ability to file a paternity suit, depending on the jurisdiction.
Sue for child support? That would be up to the mother to do. And if she did sue, she would be the one to get the money if she won, not the young adult child since the mother was the one who raised and supported the child.
Yes
Depends what you are going to sue him for...
no
Yes. Most courts now order a paternity test to establish paternity legally. Then visitation and child support order can be established.
I hope I hear yes...
No. She is grown now so no need for child support. You should have done this when she was still a child. A DNA test would easily have proved he was the dad and the court would've forced him to pay.
A legal dad can sue in this instance, but it is highly unlikely that he would win. If the mother of the child knew who the father, she can be sued for paternity fraud.
This varies from state to state. step 1 for the bio father would be to sue for paternity; if he does so, he will establish his parental rights and may be responsible for child support as well as have visitation rights, or even be able to sue for custody.
If he is the biological father yes. You should go to court, request a paternity test and sue him for child support.
no, your mother (or legal guardian) has to sue
Whether or not you can sue over a forced paternity test is usually a question of local law. The answer in this location is that you can not usually sue over a court ordered paternity test. Since court orders in this area are public record, it is stupid to let it get that far.
