The Hidden Pain of the Abuse of DNA Tests.

We have worked on cases where we argued an application for a DNA test and where we advised against the filing of an application for a DNA test.

In one case, our client wanted us to file an application for a DNA test on their child(ren), but based on our assessment of the facts and evidence presented to our team, we advised against filing the application. Thankfully, our client followed our advice. We were eventually able to reach an agreement regarding the welfare of the child(ren) and our client has been enjoying the benefits of the agreement by maintaining a solid relationship with their child(ren).
