Re: Responding to a request for paternity

If a court has ordered a paternity (DNA)test, samples(cheek swabs) of the father's DNA and the subject child's will be required, but not from the mother. However, as the child's mother you will be required to make the child available for the required cheek swabbing to obtain the child's DNA, if that's what you mean by "honoring the test".
