Paternity Testing advice....

toomevara

Have a bit of predicament, My sister has recently become pregnant, the unlovely individual who performed the deed has characteristically demanded a DNA test to prove his paternity (actually its nothing more than a spineless attempt to evade responsiblility). My sister is upset, obviously, by this devlopment, but is determined to go ahead with it..

Does anyone know if such a service is available in Ireland/the U.K, and does anyone have any advice/recommendations about how to go about it.....

A company called Cellmark does it. Would provide the link on google but completely inept at such endeavours. Best thing is to wait until the baby is born, bring the guy for maintenance, if he's looking for dna testing then he will request it and the solicitors will organise it. This is the safest way as it will be through legal channels and the "gentleman" in question will not be able to wriggle out. Do not know the cost but can easily find out from someone who has been through it if you need me to.

Many Thanks Faith/Deer, massively appreciated.

Hi Toomevara,

The cost is in and around two grand. But if he requests it - he pays.
