Agreeing with Restraining Order but Not Allegations

[Washington-unmarried-dad]

My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Washington.

I have reason to believe I am not the father of a child born recently. Because of this I requested time to sign the paternity affidavit. After requesting this, the mother denied my attempts to get a valid DNA test and filed a request for a non-contact order with false alligations on her statement. My question is: If I don't show proof that the alligations are wrong (which I do have), because I don't want to contact her anyway, could this blow up in my face later?

Have you filed a paternity action in court?
If not, you should do so, because if you don't you could end up being forced to at a later date.

If you are innocent of the allegations, you need to go to court and prove your case. Is this attempt at a no contact order really just a way for her to prevent you from filing a paternity suit?

I have a question: How would her filing for a No Contact Order prevent you from filing a paternity suit?

Thanks Xena and Lovelyview, I'll take your advice and go to the courts immediately and file a paternity suit while I take care of the order.
