Re: D.N.A. testing for child
In Tennessee you would file a petition in Juvenile Court to determine paternity of the child.
If you can't afford the DNA test, you aren't going to be able to afford a private attorney either, so simply contact the Child Support Enforcement office (contact your District Attorney or Juvenile Court to find out how) and your daughter can get an attorney to represent her at no charge.
