IF I SIGNED THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, CAN I REQUEST A DNA TEST?

QUESTION: I live in CA. I signed a birth certificate as the father. I was also granted visitation every other weekend by the Court. My ex filed for CS. Can I still request DNA test to be done even though I signed the birth certificate and went to court for visitation rights?

MY RESPONSE: You can and should request a DNA test as soon as possible if you have reason to question whether you are the father. If the mother won’t stipulate to an Order for the DNA test, file a Motion in the Paternity case for the DNA test.
