Just checking. A woman is accusing you of being the father of her child?
So what are the chances it is your's?

If all you're after is a DNA test I'd suggest spending some $$$ on legal advice prior to the case would cost a grand or two. You can self represent from there.

But it does depend on what you're hoping to achieve?

Hi John

Have you been served court documents to appear?

If so, which court?

Considering the possibility of 18 years of child support for a kid who may not be yours, a lawyer may be a good investment.

Cost is going to depend on what is being claimed. Is it only paternity or something more?

Which courthouse? Melb, Dandy, other?
