    Question Establishing Nonpaternity in Mississippi

    This is a very confusing situation. I married a man 2 years ago who had a 6 year old daughter at the time. No problem. Well, since then the little girl has developed epilepsy and there is nothing in my husband's medical history like that and that made us start questioning if he is the father. Well, he never had a paternity test done (duh) and then when we were not able to get pregnant the questions came again. So, we decided to get a dna test done through GenEX (a mail order type thing). The results came back and it verified that he is 100% not the biological father. He was devastated!! Where do we go from here. All that we have is a court order for child support that is supposed to serve as the paternity acknowledgement, but my husband never signed it. Please advise. Thank you!!!

    Have him hire a lawyer to see if he can get the judgment in the lawsuit set aside.

    By the way, there is NO test that is 100% accurate to anything.

    We are trying not to put out more money on this situation. Is it necessary for us to get a lawyer or are there paper we can file on our own?

    Your "mail order" DNA was cheap enough and may not hold up in court. If you want this resolved you need to spend the money and hire a Lawyer

    The test was NOT cheap. It may not seem like a lot to you, but it is to us. We paid the extra money to get the "court admissable" test, plus the child support every month - it really adds up. Anyway, she has this going through the Mississippi child support enforcement agency. Is there a way that she can call them and have it stopped?

    With a mail order test, the court has no way of knowing whose DNA was submitted, so admissibility can be a big issue.

    The child support order establishing his paternity was entered in Mississippi? How many years ago? You suggest as much but to confirm, he was never married to the mother?
