Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
without dna testing
My daughters father refused to sign her
birth certificate at birth. So we been goin
through the court process. He requested a
dna test. I should up to the testing date
and he did not. I went to the next court
date which was supposed to be for the
results. They informed me that they gave
him 3 chances to do the dna test but failed
to show up to all 3. He also didnt show for
the court date. The general attorney
informed the judge on the situation. He
decieded that he was the father, i quite
didnt understand how they can just do
that without dna testing, and how do i
explain this correctly to others.

Re: without dna testing
Well, your concerns and questions are very valid. Unfortunately, it appears that because the court can not physically force him to take the test even though he is court ordered to do so, it believed that the next best thing is to rule that he is the biological father. This way you can pursue child support. At that point, if he objects to paying child support because he claims he isn't the biological father, then I guess he will show up for the test, now won't he?
If you truly believe he is the biological father (or you in fact know he has to be) then you must decide if you will acknowledge that he is, to others. Is it really important that "others" know about the court process, so long as you know who he really is?
