Q: How do you know if the child is yours without DNA?

Without DNA testing, determining if a child is yours can be challenging. Factors such as your relationship with the mother, any acknowledgment of paternity, and physical resemblance may provide clues. However, legal paternity can only be established through a court process or by being named on the birth certificate.

Q: Can someone put you on child support without you knowing?

Yes, it is possible for someone to initiate child support proceedings without your knowledge. If you are not legally recognized as the father, you may not be notified until a court summons is issued. It’s important to respond to any legal notices to protect your rights and interests.

Q: How do you tell if a child is biologically yours?

The most accurate method to determine if a child is biologically yours is through DNA testing. If you are not able to conduct a DNA test, consider any legal documents that establish paternity, such as a birth certificate or court orders. Physical resemblance can also be a factor, but it is not definitive.
