Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

DNA Testing

Is DNA testing allowed on a minor without the custodial parent's consent and that parent is still alive? If you are married and the father acknowledges that this is his child and signs the paternity affidavit and has his name on the birth certificate can he challenge the paternity of the child after 5 years? Is there a statue for the length of time to challenge the paternity after you have signed the paternity affividat? You were married at the time of birth and the child was born in CA and I live in Indiana now. Can another woman go in the mother place for a DNA test? Another women went in my place in the state of flordia. Once the case is transfered to the state of Indiana can a military be forced to come and appear at a hearing and have a correct DNA test in Indaina because we feel it was falsified.

Re: DNA Testing

A lot of question and a bit of garbled facts. I am not sure if you are the mother or the father; what Indiana, California and Florida have to with all this. You really need to meet with an attorney. In the meantime, I suggest you read my blog post on this subject. http://haslerlaw2.blogspot.com/2007/03/you-signed-paternity-affidavit-and-now.html

You may or not have grounds to set aside the paternity but it is now a delicate issue and you need to speak with someone rather than use e-mail.

Re: DNA Testing

I really have no idea about what you are asking. I can not tell whether this is a divorce situation or an out-of-wedlock. I can not tell who you were married to at the the of birth or whether you are the mother or the father. Please repost in a clear concise manner.
