If two people are married and have children,is there no way the father can get a DNA test.Some people tell me that the husband is automatically the father,others say a test can still be done.I'm in Alabama.

Yes of course a test can be done. If two people are married and the child is not biological he is only the STEP father.

I think it would be a good idea if everyone got the test before engaging in a physical relationship - whether for marriage or not. My husband and I have one done every six months and when we interact with another couple or with a new girlfriend, we present our documentation and ask for theirs. IF they do not have a test done we either do not get involved with them or we go with them to get the test done. This tends to make them so much more comfortable with getting tested.

"Congenital" means "with the genes".  Genes pass on information about YOU to your kids.  Short answer is yes it can be passed on.  That's how you got it.\nDo a little research into your family's traits in this area.  If it's a recessive trait, your bride will have to also pass this gene on for it to emerge in any children.  The particular sperm that "wins the race" may not have that gene, either.\nIf this dysplasia is evident in a number of your family members, it probably raised the likelihood of you passing it on.\nI am NOT a geneticist, human or otherwise.  Someone like that would be the best source for guesstimating the odds of passing it on.

Slim to none BUT it does happen....did he get checked and then rechecked after it was done? Read the following:\nE-mail question: My husband’s vasectomy was successful and there has been no evidence of live sperm, but I’m worried that I might become pregnant. We know of four couples who had children after the husband had a vasectomy. Are there any statistics on how effective they are?\n\nDr. Dean: Yes, you can become pregnant by a man who has had a vasectomy. I’ve seen statistics from as rare as 1 in 1,500 to as common as one in 200 to 300 showing cases where vasectomies have reversed themselves.\n\nUnfortunately, the first thing people will do when this happens is to call a lawyer because they think the wife has been unfaithful. That is not necessarily so, as the statistics show.\n\nThis is why it’s so important to return to your doctor after a vasectomy. Many men have a vasectomy, disappear, and never go back to the doctor to get it checked. Ten years later they have an unplanned baby and they blame the doctor.\n\nThis surgery is not 100 percent perfect – nothing is.\n\nThere are other facts about vasectomy at the source sited.\nGood luck.

everyone has the same amount of genetic information.  a child's dna is a combination of both parents. a mother's dna is irrelevant in a paternity test because the test's goal is to see whether the child has any genetic information from the father.\n\ncrudely put, it works something like this. imagine chromosomes are marbles. the mother has 46 red marbles and the father has 46 blue marbles. each parent will donate 23 marbles to the child so the child will have 46 as well. a paternity test compares the blue marbles of the child against the proposed father. if they match, then the father has been determined. but there's no need to examine the child's red marbles because the mother donated those.\n\nthe analogy can be drawn out to include various genetic issues that arise in gametogenesis (the process of making sperm and egg cells). but hopefully this answered your question.

According to Wikipedia - yes they can. A mutation in the father's sperm can cause it - even if the father does not have it.

If you were married to the woman when the children were born then you’re automatically the alleged father. You should contact your local Human Resources Department, and consult someone regarding paternity testing for the four other children. You can take her to court, and possibly have paternity court ordered, and have a hearing to reduce your child support. However, child support is based on income. If your income has not fluctuated then your child support payments will remain the same. You should consider paternity testing if you believe that there is a possibility the children aren’t biologically yours. You can pay for paternity testing out of pocket, but make sure you do it through a method recognized in a court of law.

If you have an idea who the father is, you should be able to get Division of Family Services to help in obtaining DNA or help point you in the direction of legal counsel.Saying he is the father is not proof, give them reasonable doubt, names and dates.Its just not right for someone else to support and get visitation for a child that is not his.Besides,it is only fair the child knows who the biological father is for medical family history purposes.If all else fails look in the yellow pages for family counseling that accepts your medical insurance.Not to make lite but, there is always the talk shows...they love this stuff!

that is not true. The following is the way scientists determine paternity\n\n1) Dna samples are taken for both father and child\n2) The Different DnA tubes are seperated and restriction enzymes cut them up ointo smaller pieces. They work in a complicated way not worth discussin at this time\n3) Scientists place the two types of DNA fragments into a spectrophotometer with gel\n4) On one side there is an anode and another has a cathode\n5) Larger and heavier pieces of DNA migrate to the anode visa versa.\n6) Finally scientists compare where the DNA is on both tests. If the DNA strands arrive in the same relative locations as the child's DNA then the father is the father (if that makes sense)\n\n\nYOUR DNA IS NOT NEEDED NAMELY THE MOTEHRS DNA IS USELESS

I'm not sure there are any laws preventing someone from marrying an uncle or cousin related by blood, let alone simply by adoption.\n\nI know some 2nd cousins that were married in Florida, and there were no rules preventing it.  Certainly, in the case of close blood relatives (1st cousins) there are risks of genetic problems with children, but I still don't think there are laws that prevent the marriages, except maybe in the case of direct family members (brother/sister).

Check this out...\n\nhttp://www.lanwt.org/txaccess/PATERNITY.asp\n\nRead through it, but if you scroll about 3/4 of the way down, it answers your question "SHE SAYS IT IS NOT MY BABY AND SHE WON’T LET ME HAVE VISITATION. WHAT SHOULD I DO?"\n\nBasically, if you request a paternity test through the court, the mother must let one be done on the baby.

You can rule out certain blood types, but you can't know the exact one for sure.  For example, you can be sure the father is not either blood type O or B, but he could be A or AB.  The rh factor isn't as easy to figure out.

from a man's point of view,,, it matters to us! to get the absolute truth about paternity because this is an issue that Will affect you for the rest of your life,,, i have   friends that gone through child support issues,,, as soon as they question the females about DNA test,, these women get infuriated,,, three of my males friends were proven not to be the fathers, the one guy was married the other two were not,,, as men we can only take what you tell us in face value ,, only a woman knows who shes slept with, and quite frankly a man can't always trust what a woman says about who shes dealt with.... so think about it,,, if you were a man would you want to support some other man's child?..... 18 + yrs knowing or not knowing that it's your child,,, having to give up everything you have to support the mother who has lied to you,,,, for 18 yrs or more ......\n\nyour question only scratches the surface and of course women will back you up,,, but from what i can see there may be some others issues as well,, your one question makes you look like "the wounded duck" and of course women will feel sorry for you.\n\nIn reality NO MAN in his right mind wants to support a child that does not belong to him,,, if you are true to yourself and your husband then you should have no problem getting the test done,,,,,unless you have something to hide....

~~it is possible for him to get the courts to allow him the right to DNA testing, and it is possible for him to petition the courts for custody, given your age the courts would also ask your opinion of the situation, but his chances of winning are about the same chances an icecube has for survival in the sahara desert~~

DNA testing has an inherent margin of error, even when done properly.\n\nWhen you hear the results of a DNA test, it's always "there is a 99.874 percent probability he is the father," or "the chances he is not a father is 1 in 3.2 billion" or something like that.\n\nNow, considering that the odds of winning the PowerBall jackpot are 147 million to 1; that about 5 billion tickets are sold every year; and that about 15 jackpots are awarded every year, you can see why a judge, looking at odds 20 times steeper, would be inclined to say, "he's the father."

Were you married? File a paternity suit if you were not, and let the law find him. That's just wrong on his part, in all of these years not to have wanted to see his daughter. I couldn't live with myself knowing I had a child and wasn't a part of their life.
