Re: parternity test

I can't tell you about IN laws, but in MD she could file a paternity action through her grandmother and the court could order you to take the test. The good news--if MD law is followed, she'll be ineligible for child support when she turns 18 unless she's still in high school, in which case she is entitled to support until she graduates or turns 19, whichever comes first. The law on this may be different in IN.
