I'm confused

Hi. i'm nearly nineteen and i am 29 weeks pregnant my ex and i broke up wen i was twelve weeks and ever since then his mother has been in denial and is requesting a paternity test wen this baby is born, Can i deny her that or should i just do it so she can stop denying her grandson after his born?

The only one who could force you to take the test is the baby's father, and he would need to take you to court. You can deny them. However if you know 100% he's the father you can give him the test but give the grandmother the ultimatum to stay away from you! My brother has drama with his "extended" family especially her mother! When a momma's boy has a baby with a girl the mother doesnt approve of then she will cause all the drama that she possibly can. Good luck to you, dont let them stress you out its not good for you or the baby

I would do it if she offers to pay. LOL! They are EXPENSIVE so if you can't afford one, tell her you are 100% positive he's the father because you haven't been with anyone else and that if she wants to know for sure, SHE can pay for it because you don't have a problem.

You do not legally have to give in to her request.

more than likely you will have to do one if you want him to pay child support or get any bennifits from medicaid or anything

First, I wouldn't deny her...it will only make her think she is right...SECOND...if you want child support from the father chances are one will be required for court anyway....THIRD....insist that if SHE wants it, SHE pay for it.  Starting RIGHT NOW, you need to let her know that you have absolutely no problems with it becuase you KNOW this is her sons child.  Your confidence in this can only help to instill the fact that it really IS his child.  

Now...his mom aside, how does HE feel....does HE think it's his child or is he siding with his mom??
