A person taking DNA for the courts can make a mistake determining paternity. Normally if there was a match, it is correct.
It could complicate things terrifically. We would give serious thought to skipping it. He doesn't sound like a guy who would be really good at child support or parenting, so...
He should still get supervised visitation with random testing. Fatherless children still fair worse, and society pays the price. see link

How does someone become a family mediator?
There are no set requirements in the US to become a family mediator. You do not have to be a lawyer. The family court system in most states sets a minimum number of hours of training and experience to be listed in a family court referral system. 40 hours of training has become a default standard in the profession, but most practitioners would say it takes many more hours than that. Many advise setting up a mentor, doing co-mediation (mediation with a more advanced practitioner), and volunteering at a community mediation center to get actual case experience. A community mediation center also provides an environment where your work can be evaluated and you can be coached.

Joint Physical Custody-How do you prepare for a custody challenge?
When sharing custody with a parent, it is important to prepare for challenges. A person needs to have back up babysitters, and a workplace that is understanding of the challenges set before them.
What do you do if the father does not want the baby?
It doesn't matter if he wants the baby or not, if you choose to get child support from him, you can get a court order saying he has to pay and how much. They will even take it out of his check before he gets it. (Sort of like taxes.) If you choose to just let him stay out of the babies life, have him sign a paper giving up all rights forever from the baby. Be sure to have a lawyer or judge do this paper so it is guaranteed legal. If you don't want to raise the baby without a father, then you have the option of adoption. There are many types of adoption. You'll have to go to an adoption lawyer or agency and find out what it best for you. If you choose to keep the baby, just know there are lots of moms who raise children without dad's; for a number of reasons. And there are also lots of dad's that raise kids without mom's for the same varying reasons. There is lots of help out there if you ever need it. You do what's right for you.
AnswerMy boyfriend didn't want the baby but since she looks just like him, he can't ignore the fact that he loves her. If the father really doesn't want the baby, it doesn't matter. I thought because my boyfriend didn't want the baby, I was going to be lonely, and I even thought of giving her up for adoption when I was pregnant. But the moment she was born, I had a dramatic change of heart. My baby brought me so much happiness. I can't imagine not having her. I don't even care about guys anymore. For the first year of her life, my daughter did not see her father because he was immature and stupid. I had so much fun with her, because she was mine and only mine. There was no guy to be bothering me or telling me how to raise her. I made all the decisions for my daughter. Now that her father wants to be in her life, I feel like, Oh man! It was better when it was just me and my daughter because I did what I had to do when I wanted to. The fact is that I am going to get child support from him and he gets a right to see her too. AnswerI am a single parent bringing up my 17 month old beautiful baby boy alone. My son's father refuses to contribute any money towards his son and has not seen him for the past couple of months, i don't know the reason why because he does not Evan have the decency to call and let me know what's going on. At first i felt like my child was going to miss out on something. However, i know I'm a strong women and i will do all i can to make sure he has everything he could need and most importantly my love.I know that one day his father will decide to come knocking on the door and when he does i can't wait to close it back in his face. My son will make up his own mind when he's old enough.
I think it's so sad that this day and age there ares till people having children and not caring for them, how can you turn your back on your own child. I have so much respect of single parents it's a tough job at times.
For all you fathers/mothers out there who don't look after your children YOUR MISSING OUT.
Keep it yourself.

Can i find out if my daughter is really mine through a DNA test from her son?
Yes, a DNA grandparentage test can determine whether a child is biologically related to a set of grandparents. This test is based on the fact that a child inherits half of his or her genetic profile from each biological parent. When one of a child's parents is missing or deceased, we can look to the grandparents to determine if they contributed DNA to the child's genetic profile (presumably through the missing or deceased alleged parent).

How can you get paternity test on baby she said not mine?
You will need to file a paternity lawsuit in court. The court will then order that a paternity test be done to determine whether you are the father of the child. I strongly recommend that you talk with a family law attorney before filing a lawsuit. A listing of family law attorneys is available in your local phonebook.
