Legal Question in Family Law in California
If I filed a petition for visitation and DNA for my child, but I have changed my mind and dont want DNA, do I still need to have it done before my court hearing?

If paternity is disputed and has not been established you cannot get visitation, custody, and support orders in place without a threshold determination of paternity. If you are under a court order for genetic testing, you need to comply. I don't know where you are at in the process, or what you intend to gain, but I do suggest you speak to a competent family law attorney as soon as possible to learn your rights and duties in this particular situation.
