Derechos y obligaciones del padre putativo en pruebas de paternidad

Explicación Simple

Si un hombre cree que es el padre de un niño, puede tener que hacerse una prueba de sangre para comprobarlo. Pero no es justo que él tenga que pagar por esa prueba antes de que se hable del caso en la corte.

Es como cuando un amigo te pide que pagues por la cena antes de que decidan si realmente quieren cenar juntos. No deberías tener que cubrir los gastos sin saber primero si la salida es válida.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan cree que es el padre de la hija de María. La corte le pide que se haga una prueba de ADN, pero María quiere que Juan pague por ella. Según la ley, eso no es correcto, porque primero deben discutir el caso en la corte.

Delay in filing legitimation petition. - Appellate court rejected a father's contention that the juvenile court erred in holding that a delay in instituting legitimation proceedings justified a finding that the father abandoned his opportunity interest as the father's reason for the delay, specifically, waiting to obtain the results of genetic testing, was not a condition precedent to filing a legitimation petition; moreover, even with the delay, the father could have filed his legitimation petition and then sought court-ordered genetic testing.
