Hi, I'm expecting baby 2nd July. And the father has refused to do DNA testing with a paternity test. And refusal of care or child support. I can't afford to look after child on my own, as I got a 6 year old child. Please guide me.

Hi Robina,
Which State are you located in? Have a look at:
“If the parentage of a child is a question in issue in proceedings under this Act, the court may make an order (a parentage testing order) requiring a parentage testing procedure to be carried out on a person mentioned in subsection (3) for the purpose of obtaining information to assist in determining the parentage of the child.”
Hope that helps.
Which State are you located in? Have a look at:
- The Department of Human Services “Child Support and Separated Parents” page and “Court orders for child support” page.
- Legal Aid Qld pages “Proof of parentage” and “Entitlement to child support and paternity testing”.
- Legal Aid NSW “Taking action to questions paternity” page.
- Legal Aid WA “Proving parentage” page and “Child support and child maintenance” page.
- The Family Law Courts “Maintenance” page.
