Good evening.
I had an affair while the mum was living with her boyfriend. She got pregnant and put his name on the birth certificate. A few months after the child was born I asked for a peace of mind DNA test, the baby is mine. The boyfriend found out the result and told the mum never to speak to me let alone allow me photographs.
I really didn’t want to go to court, but it’s likely. I have been with lawyers and it’s going to cost a lot.
I wanted to know if there is an easy way of applying for a legal paternity testing or advising a government agency that I’m the father and they would assist?
If I am meant to go to court do I apply for
* application for paternity test
* consent or parent orders
Which means two separate affidavits and court applications, or should I do everything at once?
My issue is I don’t want to put too much stress on the mum because of the controlling boyfriend. He’s already attracted the attention of the nsw police due to domestic violence to her.
I also want to pay child support for my son.
