My ex partner and i were not togeather when i found out i was pregnant. I was very clear that i thought some one else was in fact the father. My ex refused to acknowledge it. 2 years later i finally leave due to domestic voilence and under durress i put his name on baby birth certificate in the hopes he woukd stop hurting us. He said he woukd but it never changed. So here we are now going to court because i stopped visutation and he wohnt do dna testing. I get constant phonecalls txts his lawyer always goes through me not my lawyer. Quiet hobestly i am so depressed anxious and upset all the time over this! Why cant he do dna test? Why is it such a drama! Why cant i just not wake up tomorrow! Every day i wake up i feel so dissappointed before the day even begins..... Its such an exhausting battle :( just need some clear thinking ladies cause clearly i have none any more :(

Doesnt matter if you DNA test or not.
He knowingly signed the birth certificate you didnt deceive him as to paternity there is a history and established relationship. In every legal way recognised he is the child's father because he claimed it regardless of DNA. He is also liable for child support.
You may be able to get it severely cut back though and supervised.
If his lawyer calls you hang up and call the law society he can't speak to you directly if you have a lawyer
I would be telling his lawyer not to contact you and asking for a court ordered DNA test. If he's not the father as you suspect then it's problem solved.
It really isn't case law views relationship over DNA....precedent says so.....
