Why would a Mother refuse to follow through with a Paternity test, when it was already agreed to when she was pregnant?

The only possible date of conception, wasn't in line with her due date. So the alleged father requested a DNA test once the baby was born, Mother agreed. Alleged Father and his family has contacted the Mother twice about Paternity testing and she refused and made up excuses each time.

She refuses to contact the alleged father. She is still claiming him as the Father and is telling people he is the one refusing the test. If she is SO sure, why wouldn't she just do the test Asked by cheermeupbuttercup 4 months ago Similar questions: Mother refuse follow Paternity test agreed pregnant Society > Women.

Well, we kind of already established that she didn't want to. I was more asking what her reasoning would be as to why she didn't want to, when she already agreed to it. Cheermeupbuttercup 4 months ago .

Futhermore, getting a paternity test isn't just for the sake of 'knowing who the father is', it's so the child can have a father, so the father's family can get to know her. The child is missing out on precious time with whoever her Father is. My thing is, if you're 100 percent sure that he is the Father, what's the harm in getting a test done?

I have no idea why the woman is refusing the test. I don't know her. If you are trying to get me to say she is refusing because the child is not his - I am not gonig to say that.

I don't know.

If you don't know, or don't have a clue as to how to answer my question, then there's really no need for your imput. I asked it in women so that I could get a woman's perspective on what ALL the reasons could be as to why a paternity test would be refused. Not it just being a possibility it wasn't his.

But thank you. Cheermeupbuttercup 4 months ago .

It honestly just sounds like she knows he's not the father but wants to pin him anyway. Such a shame! .

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS, or she knows and hates the guy, or the guy is a total looser and she knows she will never get anything out of him. FACT is, the guy she named as the Father is not the Father, and that much she is sure of. Is she now getting any kind of state assistance?

If so, she will lose it if she cannot name the Father. My husband and I had a similar situation happen to us. Out of nowhere, my husband got a letter form the county ordering him to pay child support.

The mother was someone he had a very brief encounter with 10 years previous to our marriage. He had no idea she named him. We quickly hired a lawyer, who MADE her and her daughter get the DNA test.

We had to pay for the test, but it was worth it, as it proved there was no way he could have been the Father. She HAD to get the test, or face charges of falsifying legal documents. I STRONGLY recommend you find yourself a very ruthless family law lawyer and get this settled once and for all.

OH, and don't forget to force her to change the birth certificate and provide proof it has been changed. That's very important.

The answer, of course, is that she is afraid of what the results will show. Which in turn could show unfaithfulness, lying, deception, and all sorts other things that reflect on her.

You're absolutely right. Except for the 'unfaithfulness' as they were not dating when they had intercourse. Thanks for your input!

2 reasons I can think of1) The child isn't his2) she's offended that no one believes her, and feels she shouldn't have to prove anything.

Thank you for your imput! I would have to agree with both to a certain degree. People do believe her when she says that the child is his.

Because their mutual friends always ask him why he's being worthless and not helping her out with the child. We told her that the DNA testing would be private and nobody would have to know we were having it done and she still refused. Cheermeupbuttercup 4 months ago .

You might also tell her, you need to know for the sake of the childs health, There are diseases, and conditions she could inherit from her father. Now if that is someone else how would the doctors be able to treat her properly with out a complete family medical history? .

You're exactly right about that. It's so sad that she is only thinking of herself and not the wellbeing of that innocent baby. : ( cheermeupbuttercup 4 months ago .

It saddens me too that the welfare of the child isn't her #1 priority, it may have to come down to a court ordered paternity suit .

Either because its not his or she because she isnt sure she doesn't want to know so she can believe it is his because th eother person would be a deadbeat dad or she is trying to hide something about that other possible father .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
