Can a Man Sue his wife for paternity fraud?

A woman has been arrested and arraigned after a DNA test showed that her two children do not belong to her partner. Edith is said to have been in a relationship with the man for 10 years and she had two children during this period.

The man has been financially responsible for the two children until he decided to do a DNA test.

Here is an excerpt from Punch Newspapers report;

Bright was said to be aware that the woman was going out with other men, but could not raise the alarm to avoid trouble.

He, however, summoned up courage and challenged her on the legitimacy of the children on September 24, 2014 after he could not raise more than N170,000 of the rent which Edith and her mother allegedly requested from him.

He was said to have taken the children to a hospital where a DNA test reportedly revealed he was not their biological father.

A prosecutor, Olusoji Ojaokomo, preferred three counts of fraud against 32-year-old Edith and her mother.

The charges read in part, “That you, Edith Bidokwu and Rita Bidokwu, on September 24, 2014, at about 8pm on Ibitoye Street, Ajegunle, Lagos, in the Apapa Magisterial District, did conspire to commit felony to wit; obtaining money under false pretence and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.

Who needs a paternity test, and why?

DNA CENTRE FOR PATERNITY TEST NIGERIA
Who needs a paternity test, and why?

A common situation is one where the mother has had a number of sexual partners and the father has genuine doubts that the baby may be his. His views may be influenced by impending requests for child maintenance contributions. This often occurs when the parents are not living together, possibly even following a ‘one night stand’.

In other cases, the father wants to be part of the child’s life because he is adamant that the child is his, whereas the mother claims it is another man’s child simply to get him out of her life. 

Sometimes doubts over paternity, doubts that have never been suggested previously, will be triggered by other events. For example, when a couple separates on bad terms, the mother could try and claim that the child is not the father’s. The mother will know whether or not this is true, but the father won’t.  Even if these claims are unfounded, they may sow seeds of doubt that cannot be ignored.

It is also common for doubts over paternity to be triggered by a contact application some considerable time after separation despite contact with, and financial support for, the child over several years.

FATHER AND CHILD PATERNITY TEST CASE STUDY

After 30 years of suspicion and much doubt, after the passing of his wife, a father of three sons wanted to have a covert DNA paternity test. The father suspected that early on in his marriage an affair had taken place and that potentially one or more of his sons were not his. Regardless of the results, the father still would love and care for them, but he had a burning desire to find the truth. An investigation was initiated in hopes of finding out if the boys were in fact his sons by blood.

The father provided us A DNA cheek swab (DNA oral saliva collection utensil), Toothbrush and an underwear of the 3rd son

Conclusion:
The DNA on both the cheek swab and toothbrush were analyzed and came back with a 99.9998% chance of being the father’s son. The DNA on the underwear also came back with the same results.

Choosing a Paternity Test – Peace of Mind or Legal?

Having a paternity test is always a difficult time for the individuals and families involved. When deciding whether you require a legal test or a peace of mind paternity test, the following information may help.

Peace of Mind DNA Tests

These DNA tests are for personal information only, as the identities of the individuals involved are not legally verified.

Peace of mind paternity tests are cheaper than the legal test versions. This is because the paperwork involved is not as extensive. However, the DNA paternity test itself is exactly the same as a DNA test that is used for legal purposes. The paternity test is just as accurate & the laboratory process is identical.

These Peace of Mind Paternity tests can save time & money, giving the answers needed, without long, complicated & costly legal processes. All the DNA tests offered can be ordered as a peace of mind option.

Even if you choose to have the paternity test for your own personal information, you can still have your samples taken by a professional at one of our DNA testing clinics. You do not need to use the self-collection home kits if you feel you still require the support provided at the clinic sessions.

Legal Test Services

A legal DNA paternity test is required if the paternity results are to be used for legal purposes. The difference in price compared to a peace of mind paternity test is due to the strict protocols that must be followed. This includes the verification of a test participant’s identity, when DNA samples are taken and the traceability of all samples to demonstrate a strict chain of custody. A strict protocol is followed by both the sample collector and the laboratories so that the results of the DNA paternity test cannot be disputed when used for the purpose it is required.

If you require a paternity test for legal purposed, you must visit your local DNA testing clinic or use our Registered Nurse Service. The paternity testing process cannot be undertaken using the Home DNA Testing Kit. All our DNA tests can be ordered as a Legal Test Service option.
