My daughter is now 19 years of age. Long ago - her biological father denied he was her father after signing her birth certificate. Since he was the one denying paternity - The family court 'ordered' him to do a DNA test and he had to pay for all three of us (mother, father and daughter).
Surely, if they could do it all those years ago - they should still be able to do it now ?

I had this issue with my ex partner who was using drugs but no one cared about what i am saying !! No one is perfect regardless if she or he !!! Mothers have the power in this country more than fathers: misusing the protection order policy and the custody ....etc..... God Bless Us!!
