Paternity Tests Before Birth
From the New York Times:
It is an uncomfortable question that, in today’s world, is often asked by expectant mothers who had more than one male partner at the time they became pregnant. Who is the father?

Now blood tests are becoming available that can determine paternity as early as the eighth or ninth week of pregnancy, without an invasive procedure that could cause a miscarriage.

Comments
Yes but I might add that in Oklahoma Family Court, the judges rarely order DNA testing before the date of birth.

I agree with the previous comment; in Louisiana to get a court order for a DNA test prior to birth is likely not going to happen. It will be interesting to see how widely this new testing becomes.

...how interesting that in New Orleands family law judges rule much the same way on the issue as Oklahoma family law judges.
