Can anther man ask for a paternity test if the women is married?
Let him get a court order to do so...He cant just come to you and say he wants one...Let him pay the court fees...
Reply:Even if you aren't biologically the father - you are the father in the eyes of the law because you are your wife's husband. Because you're married - the state automatically assumes you are the husband and you are responsible for that child even if he/she is not yours. However, the other man does have the right to protest and I'm certain with a judge's consent can ask for a paternity test.





For the child's sake - he/she needs to have access to the other man's health history.
Reply:Yes he can. And make him pay for it.
Reply:yes

Reply:Why not, if it's his kid, it's his kid.





That doesn't mean you can't love the child, but why would you keep him away from the child.





I can see not wanting your wife to see this guy, especially if you are trying to repair your marriage. But the child is not so clear cut.
Reply:it is possible, but unlikely that he would. if he opened that can of worms, it would be a hefty financial burden.
Reply:he will have to go to court, but yes he can ask, and most likely will get it.
Reply:The better question is why don't you want to find out if that is your child ? Why do you want to take care of that other guy's responsibility for the next 20+ years if that turns out to be his child ? Yes he can ask for the test, but if you are not questioning paternity then it's really a moot point.
Reply:If he has reasonable grounds, he can ask for a court order for a paternity test. However, given the financial impact that a positive result might entail, he is unlikely to do so.
Reply:if he know about the child , yes he can ask for it, even if you


do accept all responsability.
Reply:He could. I'm betting he won't.








Edit: My best advice would be not to mention it to anyone else. If you want to be this child's father, then put your name on the birth certificate and be this child's father and never again entertain any idea of what happened that one night. Never ever mention it to the child.
Reply:Yes if the child a childs paternity is in question. Hire and atty. and depending on the age of the kid and the role of the non custodial parent it's recommended. There is nothing like the peace of knowing either way.
Reply:I believe it will take both the other man and your wife to agree to it, not you. Or he can go to court and submit convincing evidence (timing or similarity in looks) to force a DNA test.





It he turns out to be the biological father, the law gives him the right to have access to the kid as well as child support responsibility. Again, you CANNOT turn down child support because it is the child's entitlement, not yours or your wife's. The money can be put away for college. The biological father can ask for reasonable visting time with his child. That's the law.





You can tell yourself that you are the father and he is the sperm donor to make yourself feel better. But you can't go against the law.
Reply:Hmmm.... Damn, she had an affair and your still there. Well your an odd one to say the least but whatever. I wonder why your still together.





But onto your question, I suggest you try hard as hell to make sure this is your kid, dont worry about the other guy, worry about yourself, you are passing on your name, your family history, your name onto a kid you dont even know is yours, and then if you dont take the test you will allways be wondering when you see the kid "Is that my kid? Maybe he isn't"





and you are still with a woman who has cheated on you within the past 9 months?
