Just what the title says really.
Have a friend with a young baby. Boyfriend wanted nothing to do with my friend once he found out she was pregnant. Claimed he didn't think the baby was his.
He is not on the birth certificate, has never met the baby (doesn't even know the name), but has now made contact saying he wants parental responsibility.
The guy is violent, with mh problems, and my friend wants nothing to do with him, let alone letting him access to the baby.
My question is, can she be forced to submit the baby to a paternity test?
