What if the father is unwilling?
I am no longer together with the father of my child. I suggested doing a
paternity
test
and
he has
refused to
participate. What can I do?
Just because somebody is not available to use a buccal swab and collect saliva, doesn’t mean
that
you
can’t
test several other samples (like hair, toothbrushes, used tissues, blood, cigarette butts,
etc.)
that
you
can collect without having direct access to the person. Alternatively, it is possible to
test
people
related
to the father in
order to establish a paternal relationship.
Parents, siblings and other children of the father are all acceptable candidates to be
tested...
