How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• Recognizing that estates and trusts statutes allow trial court discretion to order genetic testing if it is in the child's best interests.
• holding that the “best interests of the child” standard applies when considering a presumed father’s “petition seeking to delegitimize the child.”
• presumptive father requests a DNA test to establish that he was not the biological father to relieve himself of child support obligations, this Court remanded the case because it was not determined whether it was in the child’s best interest to have a DNA test done
