Areas of Law / Child Law

My ex-girlfriend has sent me a letter telling me that I’m probably not the father of her child. However the Child Maintenance Service is insisting that I should pay for the blood test if it turns out the child is mine, even though it was my girlfriend’s infidelity that’s called the child’s parentage into question. Is there anything I can do about this?

If you are prepared to accept the child as your own, and take on the financial responsibility, a blood test will not be necessary. But if you are not prepared to do this without proof of paternity you should submit to a blood test. If paternity is proved you will be responsible for the cost of the test; if not there’s no charge.
