Hey guys, I'm new to this forum.
Was wondering if you kind gentleman can give me some advice.
Say for example I dispute parentage, and I have to complete a dna test with cellmark.
If the DNA test comes back negative and proves I'm not the father, can she still disagree with it and make me do it again? Like an appeal or something?
The other thing I wanted to know is why does cellmark as for passport photos if you have to take your driving licence or passport to prove its you!?
Hi
What is the reason for your question? Have you contacted Cellmark? What have they advised? I'd contact them first.
I remember from a thread somewhere that the only grounds to appeal are due to a significant error or illegality in sample, but would need significant case/evidence to do so, although I believe there are penalties if deceit/fraud is found.
Also, I think you only need passport photos if you don't have photo ID. However, when you speak to Cellmark they should be able to advise..
All the best.
@Daddyup sorry, I suffer from anxiety and over analyse things that's all where it leads my mind to just over think and go over sanerios all the time.
Sorry about the stupid question I just worry and panic.
You know what it's like, it's just grief and stressful dealing with CMS. I worry incase I do a DNA test and come back not the father that, that just won't be the end of it.
Some women are very vindictive
Not a problem at all, this forum is good to just ask qs and vent a little, no question is a stupid question. I just wanted to make sure I understood why and what you were trying to achieve. It is difficult with CMS but I found it is better to understand exactly how they work and use that to an advantage rather than things like name changes etc..
If you are being harassed, then keeping a diary and presenting to police will help and as has been suggested obtaining a non mol will also ensure you have some legal protection...
My guess is that you have to prove your identity when doing the test in case you send a friend in your place. The results are accepted by the courts so there will be no grounds for appeal. If you are not the father and you are being harassed, then as said, keep a diary note of all incidents with any evidence and report it to the police.
Just out of curiosity is a name enough for the child maintenance to find you?
