To find out who she has listed as the Father you could apply for a copy of the childs full birth certificate.
Unless his ex has asked him to pay child support then there is no way that you can demand a DNA test.
Odds on he not the father but shes loving that he has doubts

Frankly, I think you should keep out of this and let your son sort it out. You don’t have any legal standing, and you don’t want to be seen as overbearing.

To answer your question, I doubt there is anything you could actually do, as a possible grandmother. As most have suggested, if your son wants find out if he is, or isn’t, the babies father, he would be best to seek legal advice.

As a potential grandmother, I doubt you have any legal recourse, but your son should talk to a family lawyer to check what his options are. Even if he doesn’t want to be involved in the child’s life, he needs to know if he is biologically the father, as the child may look for him in future and his ex may come to him for child-support.

Your son definitely needs to get some legal advice

All I can suggest is calling Legal Aid and asking them. Have you tried contacting the ex to ask her? She might be willing to talk

I would suggest that she herself doesn’t know who the father is or has a very good idea it isn’t your son, otherwise she would be on the bandwagon to get maintenance from your son for her child. You might just be opening up a can of worms that she be best left alone.

I’m not sure if legally you can do anything. I’d suggest your son talking to legal aide to see if there’s anything he can do.

I think you should really get your son to get some legal advice if he wants to know if the child is his. If he doesn’t want anything to do with the child, it’s best if he gets legal papers drawn up and then get her to sign them so she can’t ask for any child maintenance at a later date.

Ask your son to purchase of copy of the birth certificate. If he is listed as the father he should be able to purchase it, if he is not listed as the father, he will not be allowed to purchase it. He may lose the fee he paid, but at least he will know.

I don’t believe you can do anything, but your son may. But let’s be careful here. There may be very valid reasons why she’s trying to protect her child.

I’m sure your son may have some legal standing to find out. He would need to have legal advice.

I would also suggest getting legal advice.

Probably need to seek legal advice

You are in a very difficult situation, I would be getting legal advice There are a lot of questions here though.. Does your son want to know or is it you that wants to know? Why did she not want to tell your son if he was the father or not, does your son want to be apart of the child’s life if it is his? In the end is it going to be worth all the heartache?

I don’t think you can force her to do anything – but seek some legal advice (have your son do this) and go from there.

I’d be getting advice from a family solicitor.

Get a DNA test done so its settled before or if she will claim child maintenance etc. Only solution for all concerned.

Is probably up to your son to find out as grandparents don’t seem to have many rights. Maybe get some legal advice and take it from there. I hope this all works out harmoniously.

DNA TEST FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILY BUT QUESTION WHY WOULD U QUESTION A GRANDCHILD??
