A man who has been summoned to court for child support is very upset because he claims that the child is not his and, therefore, he should not be forced to support another man's child.
He said he met a woman at a club last year and he took her to his house one night. The next week, she told him she was pregnant and, according to the man, since that time the woman has been harassing him for money.
"I know I made a big mistake in my life because I should never have taken the woman to my house to spend the night," he said.
"I met a woman at a club one night and she appeared to be a nice person. We chatted for a while and I bought her drinks. When I was ready to leave the club, I jokingly asked her if she wanted to spend the night with me and she said 'yes'.
"I did not expect her to respond to me in a positive way, but, nonetheless, I took her to my house and we became intimate. She called me several times the next week, but I did not respond to her calls.
"One night while I was at the same club, the woman turned up and said she was pregnant for me. I told her I had nothing to do with her pregnancy, but she kept harassing me for money to buy all sorts of things. She even asked me for money to go to the doctor and I ignored her.
"She telephoned me one day to say she was in the hospital and had given birth to a baby girl, but I did not visit her because I know the baby is not mine. I sent one of my relatives to look at the baby and she said the baby did not resemble me.
"One day the woman telephoned me and I told her I wanted some closure to my "big mistake", and she said all I had to do was to support my child. I told her I was willing to pay for a DNA test so she could stop bothering me, but she said she and her baby were having no such test. "Well, to my shock and surprise, I was at home last month when I was served with a summons to attend court for child support.
"I am willing to pay for a DNA test. Do you think I could ask the court to let us do one?" he queried.
Since you are denying paternity, then the only way to solve the issue is by way of a DNA test as you had suggested to the child's mother. When you go to court next month, you can apply to the court for a DNA test to be done and I am sure the judge will grant your request.
