Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Whose child is this?
My fiance received a letter from the Guernsey
County Child Support Enforcement Agency of Ohio
demanding that he appear at a clinic here in CT
where ''samples for genetic testing will be
collected to assist in the determination of a
parent-child relationship between the above-
named child and yourself, the alleged father.''
Does he have to do this?
Who initiated this letter?
Thank you very much.

Re: Whose child is this?
The request from CSEA is equivalent to a court order, and he must appear or risk being held in contempt. The process was initiated by CSEA probably when the child's mother went on welfare. She believes your fiance to be the father.
