Force an ex to provide DNA?
Questioner
August 31, 2018 I had a daughter alone. Given the 3 different bed partners, there was no certain father for my daughter. In the meantime, 'person 1' and 'person 2' have cooperated in the case that I set up in collaboration with a lawyer, in which 'person 1' had his DNA tested and it was not, and 'person 2' had a kind of calculation made with his curator that he cannot be the father. However, my ex 'person 3' has not cooperated so far. I have heard that he is back in the Netherlands. Training at 'football club X'', but I do not know if he was already a Dutch citizen again. In the past I have not been able to summon him to come and do his DNA test because he was an English citizen. Furthermore, my daughter will be 5 on August 31st, and I learned that I will no longer have the right as a mother to sue him, but my daughter will. I am currently speaking for her, but is there a difference? She just wants to know who her father is. My question is really: how do I approach all this? And, How do I get my ex to give his DNA for my daughter?Lawyer
In the Dutch legal system, there may be situations where it is necessary to force a DNA test on the father of a child. For example, it may occur in cases where there is doubt about paternity, and this has legal and practical consequences, such as in alimony, parental authority, or inheritance issues. In order to enforce a DNA test, there are several steps and procedures that must be followed. Here are the general steps: Voluntary cooperation: In most cases it is desirable that the father voluntarily cooperates with the DNA test. If he agrees, the test can be arranged in consultation. Legal proceedings: If the father refuses to cooperate with the DNA test, the mother can initiate legal proceedings to force a test. This is usually done by hiring a lawyer. Request to the court: The lawyer will file a request to the court on behalf of the mother to have a DNA test performed. This request must be well motivated, for example with the reason why paternity must be established. Court decision: The court will assess the request and make a decision. The judge will weigh up various interests, including the child's best interests, the father's right to privacy, and the child's right to information. DNA Test: If the court grants the request, a DNA test will be performed to confirm or rule out paternity. This is usually done by means of a buccal swab taken from both the child and the father. Paternity determination: If the DNA test confirms that the father is indeed the biological father, paternity can be legally determined. This can give rise to various rights and obligations, such as paying alimony and obtaining parental authority. It is important to know that enforcing a DNA test is a serious step and that it can have consequences for everyone involved.
