Negative DNA test

[ScorpioLancs]

Basically can a court go against a negative DNA test?

Can you elaborate

I regards to money or access? Money, no. Access- possibly. Depends on the amount of time and care the non biological parent has had with the child and if a parental role has been assumed.

Defiantly need more sorry.

Also was it a genuine company who carried it out or a diy home test kit?

In what way?

Need more info ? For what ?

Ex did a court approved DNA that com back negative. She was with him 18 month baby almost 1 but over last 5 month contact has been dribs n drabs so basically he was in his life 6 month. She wants nothing to do with ex and wants him to have no contact now it's been proven his not his dad so how on earth can a court grant contact even tho there is evidence to show he's not biologically his?

Madnes

I'm not sure whose side you are on in this scenario- but he raised the child and was u der the impression he was the father. He is the dad, has helped raise (I assume) the baby. Mother cut off contact, and he still wants to be a part of the child life. If there isn't any abuse or violence concerns, he was a good dad, and wants to continue being so regardless of biology- why is that madness? Surely he should be applauded for taking responsibility? She thought he was good enough to pretend/think she was preganant to him. Don't see the issue or madness in him not wanting to 'loose' a child he has an emotional bond with.

There's a lot more to it than just he wants to be the dad aswel..... There's countless Facebook profiles and new numbers trying to contact his now ex.... Harassment counts as abuse

So the baby is supposed to live a lie all because he wants to pretend to be a 'daddy' to someone he's not biologically connected too

Are you drunk?

No one is suggesting the baby live a lie. PP’s have pointed out this person has been acting as the father to the baby, presumably because he believed that was the case. A court might decide it is in the best interests of the child for that relationship to be allowed to continue.

One might ask why the child should suffer losing a second father so quickly because of their mother.

Took me 4 years to get nc between my dc and exh.

The baby is 11 months almost and won't lose any sleep if he never sees this guy again! Can u remember anyone from 11 months old who you've not seen since? Fact is he needs to get over the DNA test and move on with his life.

Or the baby mama needs to accept she lied to a man and led him to believe he had a child, and now has to deal with the judge allowing the man she manipulated used and lied to access to the child he was told was his

What fabaunt said.

What a horrible story

She's accepted it but he's been aware from the beginning that there's a chance he wasn't the dad

Of course he can -and maybe even get custody to boot -the woman involved sounds deranged!

Are you the DM OP?
Did the ex believe he was the DF? Even if he knew there was a chance he wasn't, was he told 'I'm pretty sure it's you'? Did he take the DF role until the split at 6 months?
Is the biological DF in the picture?
If the ex is harassing the DM, then she (you?) need to involve the police.

Well seeing that a man who has helped raised his step children for years, lived with them etc.. isnt allowed to see them as if they were his own dcs. Even if said children considered him their dad as he had that role on (assuming the dcs dint see their bio father of course)
I’m wondering why that man would be allowed to see the baby.
Esp as the child is so young.

That man couldn’t actually have the child calling him dad as he isn’t his dad.
He could see the child of course but in what capacity?? And what would be the point?

11 month old babies form attachments and emotional bonds to people, if the man still wishes to care for this child then it will need to be determined if this is in the child’s best interest.

OP I am find your posts hard to follow.

Are you the mother? You were with a man who you told may or may not be the father of your child. The man developed a relationship with the child but has now found out that it is not his child. The court has decided it is in the best interests of the child to maintain this relationship as he has bonded with the child. Tell me if I have it wrong.

I am confused about the age of the child as you talk about 18 months and 11 months.

If the court thinks it is in the child’s best interest then yes they can make a court order for access. It would be usual.

If you are being harassed then you need to contact the police.

I'm going to assume you're the mother. You had a few options for baby's father. This one you were in a relationship with, who accepted he may not be the biological father, but was happy to be the significant male figure in the child's life. You split up. You stopped him from seeing the baby (did you still get CS)? He took you to court- and you got a DNA test as he wasn't a guarantee. He still, despite all this, cares for the baby and sees himself as the dad. You want him to jog on because it doesn't suit you- so wording it as being creepy and weird because he cares for a child he raised until you stopped contact. Is that the full story? If so- you're wrong. The biology doesn't matter. He wants to continue helping to raise the child. Is he going to pay anything to help with raising the baby?

He just needs to accept he's not the babies dad, get over it and move on with his life. The baby is so young he won't remember when older... Who on here remembers anyone or anything from 11 months old?

It's not about remembering. It doesn't matter how much the baby will remember.

It's about emotional bonds; attachment theory. It's about the emotional welfare of the baby; and how that will be impacted by choosing to remove a man who has been acting as dad at this point.

If it was that important to you that your baby did not form a bond with anyone who was not their biological parent; the DNA test needed to be carried out a lot earlier.

My friend was with a man for 6 years and they had two children. They split up when the children were 4 and 2. Upon them splitting up it came out that the second child was another man and when my friend had to tell her partner (she’d had a DNA test because she suspected the child had another dad) he was obviously very, very upset and the break up obviously then became very nasty.

He went to court for access and applied to have contact with both children but he was only granted access to the biological child and not the other one.
