Re: blood test for fatherhood
Yes, you can make a request for a paternity test, if you can meet certain criteria. The test is usually paid for by you. If the test shows that he is not the father, then you can ask that he not have contact with the child. The court will then need to determine whether it is in the best interests of the child for this guy to be in its life. For instance, there are some cases, where the test shows that the person is not the father, but because he has had a longterm relationship with the child, they are still deemed to be the father of the child.
