DNA help?!

[Brooka01]

Hi all, this is on behalf of my partner.
His ex partner had a little girl when they were together, but was supposedly conceived when they went on a break, and he was always told she wasn't his.
She is almost 3 now. Then last week his ex has turned round and said the little girl is his. So my partner is confused and asked her for DNA proof as he didn't want involving in the little girls life again till he was sure, but his ex has refused to let him have a test. Where does he stand in the situation?
His ex has tried on numerous occasions to cause trouble between us and hasn't succeeded so we're not sure whether this is just another of her games or whether it's true so we are in limbo. Can she be forced to have a test?
Plus we don't want the CSA knocking on our door one day saying he owes out for her! Any info would be great x

Actually, I believe she can be forced to show proof, if he requests it. I'd call the department of social services and ask how to go about it.

Thanks, I think she is kicking off as she will have heard through the grapevine that we are trying to conceive and it's just s nasty rumour but I will try the social services as it's not fair on the little girl if he is x

if CSA letters come through he can request a DNA through them, then she wont really have choice but to do one if she want's to recieve anything of him, plus he will only have to pay from when EX puts in for CSA (thats how it was 2years ago anyway)

to be honest CSA are not as scary as u think..i use CSA for my daughters father and they cannot chap ur door 10 years down the line and demand money..
if ur partners ex goes to CSA ur partner just has to request a DNA which takes about 4 weeks to complete after testings,results etc are done.. the money will be backdated to the claim date tht his ex partner made..or even if ur parnter is tht desperate to know then he could contact CSA himself and tell his ex he is happy to pay for this child through CSA after a dna test is done! it is a really difficult time and i sort of kno what u are going through..only i am the mother of the child who called 3 years later. i also beleived someone else to be my childs father and after wasted years he who i thought was her dad done a DNA and it proved to be negative. this was an EXTREMELY tough time for me and i was heartbroken but i had to contact the other guy (although dates didnt match) and tell him he was her father (proven later by dna)..only to find out they had a child 4 weeks before! im sure i probably shattered his fiances dreams and i am dearly sorry for that..but i done none of this out of spite or nastyness i genuianlly thought the other guy was her dad i never had any doubt!! i dont know if this girl is just a trouble maker or what as i dont know the full story but IF this little girl does belong to ur partner then it really isnt the end of the world..i have a good relationship with him and his fiance and am now pregnant to my present partner but as i say i dont know if this girl ur talking about has diffferent intentions other than finding her little girls daddy . hope this helped ur situation ..sort of.. xxx
