DNA Testing Blog – DNA Paternity, Sibling, & Biological Family Testing

The New Delhi high court ruled that ND Tiwari, a veteran leader in congress, will be required to give a DNA sample to prove the allegations of a young man claiming to be his son.

A ruling handed down last Friday, states that police force may be used on the 86 year old Tiwari if he continues to refuse to provide a blood sample for the DNA test. Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and Acting Chief Justice AK Sikri have set aside a previous single judge’s order from 2011, which said that Tiwari could not be compelled to give a blood sample.

The high court allowed the plea of 32 year old Rohit Shekhar and stated that “Adverse inference cannot be a substitute to the enforceability of a court direction for a DNA test.”

They also ruled that the right of the appellant (Shekar) to prove his paternity by DNA testing cannot be taken away.

As Tiwari continues to defy the order, the high court has authorized reasonable force and police assistance to compel Tiwari for a blood sample.

Before the court made its ruling, Shekar stated that without an order from the court to compel Tiwari for a DNA test, it would be very difficult for Shekar to prove himself as the biological son of former governor and congress veteran, Tiwari.

After Tiwari’s 2011 refusal to appear in a high court dispensary to give his blood sample, he has publicly stated that he cannot be forced to give a DNA sample to prove Shekar’s claim of being his biological son.

Denying Shekar’s paternity claim, Tiwari has also challenged the high court’s single judge order before the division bench. They have also rejected his appeal.

In March of 2011, the apex court also refused to stay the high court’s order for his DNA test.

After both the high court and the apex court order have mandated Tiwari to appear at a dispensary to give a blood sample, he has started another round of litigation stating that he cannot be forced to provide a blood sample to refute the paternity claims of Shekar.

Juvenile(real name Terrius Gray) rapper and former Hot Boy, recently filed for a paternity test for his 13 year old son as part of an ongoing battle between himself and the teens mother.  In February of 2012, she requested and was issued an arrest warrant for Juvenile after he fell behind on child support by $160,000.

Juvenile filed the court documents for the paternity test in Louisiana.

“My son acts and looks just like me. I am doing this for procedural reasons to get custody;  I love my son to death… I hope the test proves that he is mine.” Says the rapper, he also goes on to claim that he is running the paternity suit in order to get full custody should his son be his.

However; Juvenile also claims to have proof that the mother of his son had sexual intercourse with several other men at the time of his son’s conception. Despite Juveniles claims of custody, there is a very real chance that the boy is not his.

Furthermore, Juvenile has also requested that should the paternity test come up negative, he will be voided of the unpaid child support and will be paid back restitution for money that he already paid the mother.  He currently waits, pending the results of the paternity test to be revealed in court sometime next month.

Studies show that many women claiming child support are in fact tricking the men who believe they are fathers. In Harare Africa, a study was done that came to the conclusion that 6 out of 9 of the men taking paternity tests were in fact not the fathers of the children that they were supporting.

Unfortunately, paternity fraud (either known or unknown) isn’t limited to Africa; it is prevalent in the U.S. as well.  Statistics in U.S. hospitals estimate that as many as 10% of American children are not fathered by who they think they are. While in many cases the mother knows, in some cases she doesn’t know.   On average, that’s about 1.6 million men who pay paternal support for children that aren’t theirs.

With the number of support cases steadily rising in most countries across the world, it is even more important for men to get a paternity test before paying child support. While it is easy to believe that a wife, girlfriend or lover was faithful and that the child is yours, statistics show that you could be very wrong.

Paternity tests require that the father, the mother and the child in question give blood or DNA samples which are then sent to a DNA testing facility.  Paternity tests can conveniently be done at home, at your private doctor or in a hospital. Many chose to take tests at home because they are affordable, private and relatively fast.

Any man who suspects that their children are not theirs are encouraged to get a paternity test. According to the American Association of Blood Banks, an estimated 30 percent of men who suspect the mothers infidelity are in fact correct.

It is recommended that if you have any doubts about the paternity of a child, you should complete a paternity test before agreeing to pay child support.  If you can prove that you are not responsible for paying maintenance before the court grants child support, you can save both yourself and the child a great deal of trouble.

Paternity testing is a necessary part of life. Even if you think that you are the parent of a child, you should consider doing a test before paying any child support whatsoever.
