The Summons and Complaint you received contains an “Answer” form. If you believe you are not the father of the child named in the S&C, you must file the Answer with the court within 30 days of your receiving it. It contains a request for DNA tests, which cost approximately $47 per person and will be taken at the DCSS office at 2851 Junction Avenue in San Jose. You will receive the results in six to eight weeks. If the tests show you are not the father, the court action will be dismissed and the DCSS case closed.
