My guilty pleasure is watching episodes of a popular day time talk show where the female guest declares with 1000% certainty that her former lover/husband/boyfriend is indeed the father of her child. After a few minutes of mud-slinging, jeers and cheers - the man is either jumping with joy that he is indeed NOT the father or rolling around in agony at the news that he is undoubtedly the daddy of a bubbling bundle of joy. While we may all laugh at their expense, there are over 200,000 DNA paternity tests done every year and establishing paternity before child support is determined is a requirement in many states.
If you are working and you fall pregnant, the law protects you with some basic rights, these are that you should not be fired from your job just because you are pregnant, your job should be safe for when you want to return to work, you have the right to maternity pay and to have time off for ante natal care. If your employer fails to comply with these laws, you have the right to take legal action against them.
If you are fired from your job for being pregnant or having a baby, it is an unfair dismissal. You may experience other types of discrimination which are used to try and force you to leave your job, this includes changing your hours without consulting your first, being given work which is unsuitable for you, being unfairly judged in staff reports and not being allowed time off for ante natal appointments.
If you have a reason to question whether or not your are the father of a baby, then you need to have legal paternity testing completed. This is the only sure way to know for sure if you fathered a child. While this particular test can be costly, it is not difficult to perform. In fact, you can do the test at home with a kit and send for the results from a lab. The following information will walk you through the process of performing a paternity test at home.
If infidelity has occurred in a relationship on the part of the woman, then the male in the relationship may request a DNA test, whether it is a home paternity test or performed in a hospital setting. Even if the child in question is not a baby anymore, the uncovered affair could indicate that past infidelities have occurred. It can cast doubt on the parentage of all the children that a couple may have together. If this situation occurs, then it is important for an individual to remain calm and cool headed. Because a partner's trust and confidence have been betrayed, it can be easy for a person's emotions to override their logical side.
Many men rejoice upon learning that they have become fathers for the first time. Unfortunately, some of these men may be misled into thinking that this is the case when, in fact, it is not. Paternity fraud occurs when a woman leads a man to believe he is the father of a child when, in fact, he is not.
Women may have a number of motivations behind committing paternity fraud, but the primary motive is usually finances. By telling a man he fathered a child, the woman makes the man accountable for helping support the child through primary care or child support.
If you don't want everyone to know the results of your DNA test then a DNA paternity self test kit can be a great way to protect that information. Even though DNA testing labs are to be confidential it is always possible for that information to leak out. If you want to resolve your questions about paternity personally then going to a DNA clinic where others can see you removes that privilege.
