Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Dna
Is DNA testing allowed on a minor without the custodial parent's consent and that parentwhich is the mother(me) still alive? The Father and I were married at the time of birth and the father acknowledged then that this is his child and signed the paternity affidavit at the time of birth 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? At the time of marriage and birth we both lived in CA The father took the child on vacation to Fl and then took another woman in my place for the DNA testing that was done in flordia is this possible The case was transfered to the state of Indianapolis Indiana where myself and my son resident at. The father lives in Va and he is in the military. Can a solider 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
You need to consult with a California attorney because most of the issues center around the time of birth, marriage and divorce. In Indiana, there would not be a paternity affidavit if the child was born during the marriage. You can have a DNA test taken at a facility out there and then have your son and yourself done here.
