DNA testing

OK, so to all those woman who have gotten pregnant by a soldier and he's not stepping up or denying the child here's how to go about getting a FREE DNA test AND child support.

Not many people know that the military WILL NOT provide the test because it's a civilian matter NOT a military one.
What you need is
  1. An address of the father or even his battalion commanders office. 
  2. You need to go to your nearest child support office and file. It's free to you. Just keep in mind if there is a possibility of more than one father you need to write every possible father down with as much info about him/them as possible. I you can't find his address or info just find out his rank and commanders name and or his unit. You MUST know his name. 
  3. You will also need your child's info as well as yours. Birth certificates, social security cards for both mother and child and two forms of Identification. 
They will schedule you and the father( at the same time) to come in and you all take a cotton swob several times in both cheeks. It's relatively painless quit annoying though. It will take a few weeks to get the results but you can call in regularly to see if test results have come in as I did. Once the results are in if positive the results will say 99.999% which is a definite yes!!!! Once that happens the father will be scheduled to come in and sign off on the child support amount agreement. If he fails to comply the court will simply order him to do so. And then your good to go
