I stated that, and no he doesn't have to sign. But if he is so concerned with DNA results he wouldn't let her put his name on the birth certificate to begin with. He would say "no dear, first we need a DNA test to prove the child is really mine"

Or he can be the weasel and do it on the sly. In which case, who shoudn't be trusted here??? What other major decisions would he fudge/lie about? What else wouldn't he trust her with? Why bother being married?

I think the answer is pretty obvious here.

If women are going to FTFO if her man even THINKS about DNA testing then why the heck should they be told. Yeah right: "honey I want to get a DNA test" "OMG WUT U DUN LUV ME ANYMORE GET OVER HERE SO I CAN PUNCH YOU IN THE HEAD BOY I HATE YOU".

The funny thing is, that's the purpose of this whole thread. Apparently there are some women who understands the mans concerns. These women are admirable.

I'm simply saying in a situation with a married couple if he suspected for some reason hes not the father, its possible to be done on the sly without his signature on a birth certificate.


  1. What do I need to bring to the appointment?

  2. All adult test participants must bring a valid government-issued ID—such as a driver’s license, state ID, military ID, or passport—to the sample collection appointment. For minors, a birth certificate, Social Security card, or hospital birth record is sufficient. In addition, the child’s legal custodian will have to sign a consent form allowing the minor to be tested.

I looked at the FAQ link if that's the one you're meaning. What I'm noting, tho, is the assuming of fatherhood. It can be via a signature or not. He assumes the role while simultaneously questioning paternity. He should not be assuming any parent role. And then deciding to go behind backs and get this or that test? That right there is the makeup of a Jerry Springer guest. That's why the entire premise is nutty from the get go.

Clearly, those are the women the men in this thread should seek out. There is someone for everyone.

I agree. If he really wanted to find out, it can be done and used in court.

Words out of my mouth, girl.

No desire to be with any man that is that paranoid and distrustful.

Yea, it's odd. I don't understand the whole do it on the sly thing. Pretend to be the kid's dad, but not really think you're the kid's dad. Opt out of telling your spouse that you think she might have given birth to a child not genetically related to him because...who knows.

That's what it really comes down to. I think it's hilarious that some of the guys here take issue with this simple position.

Agree again. Its definately shady. There are men out there who would do it in a heartbeat. We already heard from one on the issue and I'll bet hes not alone.
