How can i get dna test for my husband kids?
Only way I know of if the mother of the children will not cooperate is through Family Court. In many states if a man and woman are married any children born during that union are considered a “product of the marriage”. That is even if they prove not to be his biological children. If he was not married to her then he can threaten to cease paying child support (if he is paying) and use that as a way to get into court. A lot depends on the individual state. Try the link below. When you get to the main page look for the A-Z link of agencies and click on the first letter of the name of the state in which you reside. That will give you a link to your state’s homepage and you can just input DNA testing for paternity when female refuses. I ran a generic search and got info for CA, IL and some other states. I had to practically force my son’s mother to take a paternity test because as a disabled veteran the federal govt. provides him with benefits and I wanted t ensure we had the documentation
You can get a pretty accurate reading without the Mother’s dna. Go to your doctor and find out how to get tested or order tests for your fiance and the children. IF they turn out not to be his you will then need to get a lawyer and pursue this in court. Everyone will probably be tested again, by court ordered testing, but I have also seen cases on real tv investigative shows like 20/20 where the husband was not relieved of his obligations to a child that at 13 was proven not to be his, as the child had thought all along that was his father, the man had been paying support and the judge did not dissolve the child support or custody agreement.
You can buy a DNA kit from the pharmacy, over the counter. All you need is to swab your fiance’s mouth and the kids’ mouths and send the samples to a lab. The mother doesn’t need to know or do anything. You get results in a week and you’ll know for sure. It costs about $100. You can also get them off the internet. Do it for peace of mind, and because of the huge change it will have on your lives. Anyone who calls you “evil” for wanting to be sure is probably hiding someone else’s baby in their house.
You do not need her to cooperate. You can get a DNA test with a piece of their hair or you could swab the inside of their cheeks with a Q tip. When the police do those kits for kids every year they only swab their cheeks and then you keep that in their packet. My kids had theirs done at the local mall.
