Paternal DNA test request

The request was successful.

Dear Child Maintenance Service,

Could you please explain, clearly, why the father has to foot the bill for a positive DNA test and court Fee's. While in most cases it is the maternal parent who has indulged in more then one partner which resulted in a pregnancy.

Yours faithfully,

Amber. C
