You Have Two Options
Video Transcribed: Hi, I’m a child custody attorney for men. I’m here talking about fatherhood and fathers’ rights. We get a lot of questions and one of them namely being, “How do I order a genetic or paternity test?” Well, the answer is twofold.
You’ve got two options, and one of them might be cheaper for you if you don’t have the money to go to the district court. But the pitfall is, if you are determined to be the father in that cheaper option, you won’t have an opportunity to establish any custodial rights.
The first option for you is to file an administrative court, at which point, DHS will cover the bill for the genetic test. If you get the test back and you are the father in DHS administrative court, you will not be able to apply for custodial rights inside of that administrative proceeding.
There’s another option for you in the district court, local to your child’s residence. In that court, you can also request the court to order a genetic test. And inside of that court proceeding, you will be able to apply to the court for custodial rights, for legal rights to that child.
