[Solved] CMS and DNA testing

I am going through exactly the same thing now, identical.

Can you please tell me what happened next because I'm getting absolutely nowhere with the CMS

Thanks

This might help

Hi jb, as predicted, she dragged it out as long as possible. She eventually submitted to the test and samples were taken. Trouble is, no one knew how long she was allowed to drag it out for... so I'm guessing as long as they want to!

Hope you managed to get sorted with your dilemma and it worked out better than mine.

I'm sort of at this stage at the moment, court has ordered my ex to carry out a dna test before the next hearing, now this is going to be a shock to everyone, BY LAW THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT!!! Obviously they will have to face the consequences, maybe even a prison sentence but they do not have to do it, shocking!!! So us fathers can go through life fighting for our kids in court and at much expense, bringing them up with what ever contact the law decides, but will never know if our child is actually ours!!!! Bonkers!! Now some of us our thinking about, we can just do our own dna test at home and send it off to a lab for piece of mind, me to, but this is against the law, without the consent of the mother, this is the world we live in, hands tied, prison sentences, criminal proceedings, more heart ake, [censored] crazy this whole situation, good luck chaps and I really mean this, hopefully your ex is not as evil as mine,

Hi,

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. The woman had to do the test in my case, as she wanted CMS payments, so there was no choice once I raised the question over parentage with the CMS.

The woman didn't turn up to court on TWO separate occasions... and guess what happened... nothing. She was allowed to waste everyone's time, because it didn't suit her. Money I spent down the drain...

Unfortunately, this is the world we live in. No one cares about our rights, especially the government and law. They are all for the mother. I went through [censored] and because I work my behind off, I had to pay for the privilege too!

Anyway, if you need to vent or want to ask anything, I will probably have the answer for you.

Good luck!

I'm going to my second sitting in court in three weeks, (no show for her on the first hearing) not seen my daughter now for four months, I can't think about anything else, my heart is broken and my head is pickled, it's easy typing words out but the ammotional feeling are uncomfortable to say the least, I'm counting down the seconds now, from having a family and a life to nothing just makes a man crumble into a mess, wile the ex is playing happy familys with some other poor sole, and I'm trying to find a way to get into some sort of a functioning system. It's hard, no in fact is a mission of the greatest responsibility, personally I just want to be a good daddy and see my daughter smiling, crying, happiness and joy, and protect her and be the best father I can possibly be, the chaps on here are worth their weight in gold times ten, all we can do is try to remind ourselves that there is light at the end of the tunnel, be patient and good will come from all this [censored] situation, it's possible, and we will and can get there
