S10 Ep89: What if a Parent Refuses a Court-Ordered DNA Test?
from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan
#ChooseGoldman Refusing a court-ordered DNA test can lead to severe legal consequences, including default paternity orders and findings of contempt of court. Michigan courts will enforce genetic testing orders to ensure a child's legal rights and parentage are established, even if one parent refuses to cooperate. • Refusing to comply with a court-ordered DNA test constitutes a direct violation of a legal order. • Courts can view a refusal as a credibility issue and draw adverse conclusions against the non-compliant parent. • Judges can enter an order of paternity by default if a parent fails to take the ordered DNA test. • Establishing paternity by default grants the legal father rights to custody and parenting time. • Failing to comply with established parental rights can lead to show cause hearings and contempt of court charges. ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
