My question involves paternity law for the State of: Tennessee. I recently received an order of parentage through my districts child support office for a 15 month old boy that I had no idea about. I haven't seen or heard from the mother of this child in almost 2 years. Needless to say I'm shaken up by this. I'm not swimming in money so I decided to wait for the outcome of the test to speak with an attorney. The lady at the support office when I went to do the test said 2-6 weeks for results so I figured I'd come here in hopes of answers to a couple questions. That said if the test comes back positive, what can I expect next in the process? I was told there would be a hearing scheduled. Will l be given adequate time to hire an attorney before it happens?
