writes:A woman I slept with a while ago is claiming she is pregnant with my child, however I had not slept with her at least two months prior to her pregnancy. Obviously I have no reason to believe the baby is mine, however she seems to think it is. Now all my family, friends and friends of friends think I'm a father and I am certain that I am not, she has said she doesn't want me to have anything to do with the childs life - not that i want to - but she still insists that it's mine. I don't want the title of a father to someone who i don't have feelings for or a child that isn't mine but she won't have a DNA test. Can I take her to court? Reply to this Question

i know how you feel. but there is a chance that the baby could be yours. if it's someones elses baby then you can gone on with your life but if its yours then you should be in the childs life. you dont wanna be labeled as a bad father. Ithink you should get a DNA test just to make sure. gud luck.

If shes denying a DNA test, 99.99999999999% chance she is lying.
Proceed accordingly.

 It is my understanding that women suspect they are pregnant only when their menstruation is delayed for too long, and even then there can be other reasons for the delay.
If you had had sex with her two months before the moment she said she was pregnant, there is a chance you could still be the father.
If you're the father, then you need to take responsibility for the child. If you're not, then you have to stop her tainting your good name. I think it's in your interest to find an attorney and demand that a DNA test is made.
I find that taking her to court is unfair at the time. You could be the father. If it turns out that you're not the father, then just keep a copy of the DNA test and show it to any prospective girlfriend of yours. And your relatives, and anyone she talks to. You'd have the impartial statement of a third party that you're not the father, on unquestionable grounds.

 Why would you go to court for a child you're certain isn't yours? To prove her wrong through a DNA test? She should be taking you to court for child support if she's thinking it's yours and the judge will order a paternity test to settle this matter.
Chances are if she's refusing a DNA test, (especially when it could benefit her) then the child isn't yours. I would move on and write this woman off.

Yes you can and if yu really want the truth take her to court or wait until she has the baby and if she comes to yu for child support then take her to court and courts will most likely have a test done all though yu may have to pay for the test good luck.
