Re: DNA paternity testing

Yes, there is a presumption of legitimacy.

Children born during wedlock are presumed

to be the children of the married parties

This can be rebutted.

DNA tests are very good in excluding people

They do have flaws with inclusions

I also am curious as to why I am receiving a

message with a deadline of 4-30 on 6-4?
