Dear Client.... based on your query my legal point of view... If you and your wife were living together during the time of conception, the law presumes you are the father of the child. the presumption is very Strong but you can challenge via DNA test... your private test cannot be treated as evidence.... need further more clarification or doubts please call me E. Iyappan Advocate thank you...

Dear Client, 1. Yes, the court can allow a paternity test if you show a genuine and bona-fide reason to doubt the child’s paternity, even if you have no proof of your wife’s alleged affair; although your private DNA report has no legal value on its own, it is sufficient to show initial doubt, and the Supreme Court has held that a court-ordered DNA test may be permitted when paternity is seriously disputed and the test is necessary for a fair decision, so you may file an application in the divorce case requesting a court-supervised paternity test, and the judge will decide based on the facts, cohabitation history, and whether your request is reasonable and not intended to harass the wife. 2. Consult an advocate to discuss your case in brief. 3. You may schedule an appointment regarding your case by phone or email at your convenience. Thanks & regards, Priyanka Advocate Coimbatore
