Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Re: Dna

The relevant portion of the statute that is most relevant to your question is:

13-25-126. Genetic tests to determine parentage.

(1) (a) In any action, suit, or proceeding in which the parentage of any child is at issue, upon motion of the court or any of the interested parties, the court shall order the alleged mother, the child or children, and the alleged father to submit to genetic testing and other appropriate testing of inherited characteristics, including but not limited to blood and tissue type, for the purpose of determining probability of parentage. If any party refuses to submit to these tests, the court may resolve the question of parentage against such party to enforce its order if the rights of others and the interests of justice so require.

. . .

To obtain an order for such testing, therefore, there would need to be an action in which such testing would be relevant. If we can be of assistance in initiating such an action, please contact us at the email address below.
