Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
paternity
I have a 12 year old daughter that I
am not sure is mine (biologically). I
have raised her in joint custody and
have paid child support and love her
but cant help but want to know the
truth. If I find out from DNA testing
that she is NOT mine, can my ex wife
refuse to let me see her? Can she
continue to demand child support?
Will I lose my daughter? I have
raised her and love her as my own
and would continue, but my ex needs
to back off being so demanding and
controlling over my life. I need to
know the truth.

Re: paternity
At this point you have a de facto adoption of your daughter. No matter what the DNA results you will still have to pay child support and still have visitation rights.
