Hi. I find myself in a very confusing situation and looking for advice on my next step. In November I was excluded as the paternal father of a two month old beautiful baby boy. This test was done in a lab and comes complete with the chain of custody documents. The state of Florida (or atleast I was told it was from the state by the baby's mother) sent us an "at home" dna test, these results came back 100% paternal inclusion. Due to the confusion of conflicting DNA test we took another "at home" test purchased by the mother and the results of this came back as 99.8999% paternal probablility. Through each of these tests my DNA has remained constant while the childs changed from the first results. The second and third tests do however do reflect the same analysis of the childs dna.
The company that did the legal test says that they wil testify in court that their results are accurate. The state says that they will persue a course of action according to the results of the second test(the first home test), and that they will be coming after me for child support because the mother has applied for goverment assistance.
I did sign the birth certificate at the hospital. It wasnt until after the results of the first test that the mother admitted to me that she slept with someone else a short time before she got pregnant. I have not paid for anything or signed anything that acknowledges me as the father since before the results of the original test.
I am almost at a loss as to where I should go from this point. The pain of the situation just seems to be dragging on for everyone. Lawyers were telling me I could do it on my own but the court says I need to get a lawyer.
What course of action should I take from here? Should I wait for the state paperwork then present my chain of custody documents in the eventual hearing? At what point, if any should I get a lawyer involved? Any advice or words are appreciated.
