Hello,
I am a mother of a 3 yr old girl. Since college, when I became pregnant I have gone through so much hell and drama to the point the school made clear it was best I left and not come back till the father of my child graduates. Why? because he would go all QQ over the pregnancy. With the doctors note and the constant visits to the hospital and being hospitalized for 2 wks with a possiblity to induce labor (didn't help with the stress) I decided it best to leave school. When I came out ok, I went back to the school and he practically begged me not to take him for child support till he graduated. I agreed. Waited till he graduated came back and then he tells me to wait till he gets a job. He finds a job and then lets it go. When I got fed up i decided to take it to court. Now before I took him to court I married my husband and my daughter was born into the marriage. My husband is no longer with me, which quite frankly I am glad.
I take my daughters father to court for child support but mostly for the dna test cuz he did not believe the baby was his. I was denied not once, twice but three times and was told to do the dna test on my own and pay for it.
My mom finally decided to pay for the dna test. My husband stated he will do it just to prove the court that she is not his since they stated that even though he may not be the father by law he is biologically the father since she was born while he and I were married. Now, my daughters father doesn't get in touch with me. I know where he lives but i don't have his number. his friends claim they haven't spoken to him in months and even close to a year. What can I do to get this poor excuse of a man to take the dna test that won't require some brutal abuse to him, to which my brothers have decided comes by much deserve. the court denied me a dna test and my mom wants both of them to be there for the test, not just my husband.
I don't need the support from that loser, i just want the name. My daughter has EVERYTHING that jerk can't give her since 20 dollars is too much to ask for.

I don't think that you should have to bother with the DNA test. Your daughter's father sounds like a really nasty person. It is better your daughter keeps your surname. You could try to get the $20 a week child maintenance. Good luck with this situation.

It seemsthat you did not pick well either when you got pregnant and when you married. I wouldn´t bother with DNA. If your ex husband is asked by the court to support the child, then let it be it. Why do you want a "name" from anyone of them? Give the child yours: you are a fighter!
