Q:
Hi, for seven years, I was made to believe that I was the father of a child,
but I have doubts. What can I do?
A:
The first step is to have a paternity test done. One place to get it done is:
Trinidad
and Tobago Forensic Science Centre
Barbados
Road, Federation Park
St Clair, Port
of Spain
Tel:
+1 868 622-1011 or 622-2167
The
cost as of now is $500 per swab. So, as father, that’s $1000 (baby and
yourself). The test involves Macroscopic and DNA analyses.
·
If the tests prove that you are not the
father and your name is not
on the birth certificate, you’re fine.
·
If the tests prove that you are not the
father and your name is on the birth certificate, you will have to visit an Attorney
to apply for a court order to have it removed (important to have done).
Based
on my experience in the legal profession, I would advise any man with just an
ounce of doubt to get this test done.

DeleteHi good day i am in a current sitution where i am 8 months pregnant and my parter left month ago citing i do not know who the father is and im just waiting for the child to born to confirm whether its his or my ex. Things are really bad as i am a single parent and have gotten no financial and physical support during this whole pregnancy. Although accusing me of not knowing who the father is he still comes after the fact to tell me he wants nothing to do with me but he will mind his child. After much trying to show him reason i told him i do not wish to have no sort of communication with him because its too much of emotional and mental stress and i really dont want him to form the opinion that i palmed of a child on him so to establish and confirm his doubts we will go through the court. Can u advise please
ReplyDeleteHi Good Day, I'll like to find out if a paternity test can be done whilst pregnant, if yes what is the cost and where?
ReplyDeleteYes, a paternity test can be done during the pregnancy, but I am unable to confirm if it's done in T&T. You should contact the Trinidad and Tobago Forensic Science Centre for more info.
DeleteCan someone just remove a father name from a birth paper without a court order?
