How do you determine the paternity of a child?
Well the mother never needs to establish maternity as she knows that's her child, but the father would have to establish paternity by taking a DNA test. The most accurate test are done by swabbing both mother and father's inside cheek with a cotton swab along with the child to match the DNA. Now if the mother is non willing to test, paternity can still be established by just the father and child testing alone.
How does a paternity test work?
Every human has a unique sequence of DNA, but a lot of it is the same, as that is essential to our survival. The portion that is unique, however, can be mapped out. Half of it will be from your father and the other half from your mother. If the portion that is unique can be shown to be 50% like someone else, you are related to that person by one generational step (parent-child). In the same way, you can determine your grandfather, who should have 25% similarity. Mutations occur, but these are generally small enough that they do not affect a paternity test. It is the same mutations, however, that have built up over thousands of generations of your ancestors, resulting in the unique DNA segments your family has in the first place. On average, each human being's genome contains about 128 mutations at birth (out of 3.2 billion base pairs).

Price should not the only consideration -- One must also consider processing time and steps that the laboratory take to increase accuracy. For example, some labs process specimens in 2-3 days, some require a month or more. Some laboratories process each participant 2x and compare their results in order to provide virtually 100% accuracy.
In addition, some laboratories provide covert testing using found DNA specimens such as fingernails, hair, toothbrushes, etc. Some can determine paternity before the baby is born. These protocols usually cost more.
Can an ex-husband get a paternity test for a child born while married if he suspects infidelity?
I would say yes, however I wasn't able to find the code or case that backs it up.
Here's a page of links to find that answer http:/www.steveshorr.com/child_support.htm
The presumption of legitimacy holds that a child born during a marriage is the child of both spouses. The father's name is automatically placed on the birth certificate, and he is legally responsible for the child. If he denies fatherhood then a DNA test would be required, and if it is found that he is not the father, his name would not be placed/would be removed from the birth certificate and he would not be responsible for the child. However, there is a time limit for that (I want to say it is two years, but I'm not sure, and it may vary by state). After the time limit passes, it's too late. Even if a DNA test then proves he is not the father, it makes no difference, he is still responsible.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS A CASE OF PRESUMED FATHERHOOD, YOU CAN STILL BRING FORTH A CLAIM TO DETERMINE CUSTODY IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT YOUR WIFE WAS UNFAITHFUL AND HAVE GOOD REASON TO NEED A DNA TEST AND THAT SHE WAS LYING TO YOU.
ANSWER
You can get a DNA test but like is mentioned above there is a time limit and after it passes you are screwed. What a man should do in a case like this is fight tooth and nail for custody, and upon getting it fight for child support. If the woman thinks she will have to pay child support she just might change her mind and find a target that won't fight back. Of course a woman would never be so evil as to lie about who the kids dad is, wait, about a third of DNA tests prove that the bio dad is not the one they claimed. Justice be damned.

PreNatal Paternity Testing-Why would - and how can - one be done?
In states like Kansas, in order to have the right to challenge a child being put up for adoption, soon after being born, the potential father must begin paying Child Support 18-Weeks into the Pregnancy. But, if the potential father begins paying, and later learns he's not the father of the child, he must continue paying in 20 states, and with limitations in those states that do allow men paying support to later challenge paternity.
In January of 2009, the Kansas Legislature voted down a law allowing paternity tests after a man has begun paying support. In July of 2009, Missouri passed a law allowing it, but with a two year limit to challenge once the man has begun paying. For this reason, as well as custodial factors, the potential father may want to establish paternity prior to the birth of the child. As regards Single Fathers, only the state of Arizona has a law granting them any assumed rights to the child. In all other states, the mother has sole and exclusive custody and control of the child, even when the father is paying court ordered child support. In those states, a single father must file a motion with the court to establish any rights, which can be very expensive, running in the thousands. Under Certain Circumstances, a prenatal custody challenge can be filed in the state where conception took place. See Link Below
A DNA Paternity Test can be performed accurately before a child is born through amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, plus a less invasive procedure. The drawbacks of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling include, among other factors, the possibility of a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage).
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Chorionic Villus Sampling is usually performed at very early stages of pregnancy, generally around the 8th to 13th week of pregnancy. During the CVS procedure, a catheter is inserted through the cervix and a small sample is taken from the outside of the gestational sack by gentle suction. This sampling procedure allows the obstetrician to obtain a small amount of fetal chorionic villi (trophoblastic tissue) which is used for the paternity test. Paternity tests conducted using CVS samples are just as accurate as tests which are performed after the child is born. Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is generally performed at later stages of pregnancy. During an amniocenteses procedure, a small amount of amniotic fluid (10ml) is withdrawn transabdominally by your obstetrician. Amniotic fluid is also an excellent sample for paternity testing; paternity tests which are performed using amniotic fluid are just as accurate as tests conducted after the child is born.
Fetal Cell/DNA Prenatal Paternity Test
A Noninvasive Prenatal Paternity Test Sampling Only the Mother's Blood
This prenatal paternity test uses only the mother's blood - and samples from the alleged father(s) - to determine the paternity of the child as early as 13 weeks into the pregnancy. The generally, post natal tests can be done, there prenatal tests available.

The BEST possible way to test the paternity of a child would be to?
Father's appearance has to similar with his child.
Appearances are notoriously unreliable. The best way to establish paternity is by genetic [DNA] testing.
Edit: Compare a small number of short sequences of DNA derived from the father and the child's genomes.
A mediator is a person (third party) who is normally court appointed, whose role is to facilitate discussions between two parties to come to an arrangement. Once an arrangement has been agreed upon, it is then agreed on by the court.
If the agreement is broken, in most cases, the case will then be taken to the courts.
The role of 'mediation' is to try and keep the case out of the courts system and let the parties come to an agreement between them. If this does not occur, then it will be up to the Magistrate / Judge to decide.

Legal rights for DNA testing qld for fathers who were court odered?

listen u can do that but u will need your so call fathers permissions.
Get in touch with Social Services and explain you want to take a DNA test to determine if this person was your real father. They should help you out.
If you were married to the mother at the time of the birth, you are legally the father. Perhaps a paternity test might clear things up, but you do need licensed legal advice.
AnswerThe laws vary in different jurisdictions. First, you should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate to see if you can request a paternity test. You may be required to pay for the test. If the test results show that you are not the father you should petition for a termination of the child support order. If possible, you should consult with an attorney.
