The grandmother has doubts that the child belongs to her son. Can she get a DNA test on her own without the permission of the mother. Does the mother have the right to refuse the test.

No.No one can ever have any type of testing on any child without parental permission.If you have doubts that this is your grandbaby then you can either have no contact with the child or be a grandma until proven the child is not your grandbaby.If the child is joint custody then both mom and dad has to consent.If mom just has cutody then its 100% up to her.You will regret it in the long run if this is your grandbaby.

Today, it is so easy to get DNA, she could do it without any ones knowledge. All she needs is a couple of strands of hair that has the root attached. If it is a small child, she can pretend she is clean the child after eating and take a swab from inside the mouth. Legally, the mother could probably refuse the test, but if the father agreed, it could be done with his permission. Actually, I do not think the mother would have any recourse if the grandmother did it and the child turned out not to be her sons!

I think the grandmother should stay out of it. If the father is worried about it, that is something he and the mother of the child should talk about. The mother would have to approve the test unless court ordered. Let me tell you a little story.......
I have two children, son 11 and daughter 8. My mother-in-law has never liked any of her daughters-in-law. She almost lost her son due to this. February will make 13 years for my husband and I. I have never been with another man and have the best relationship with my husband, we are best friends. When my son was born, my mother-in-law tried to say that my son belonged to my brother-in-law. When my daughter was born, she belonged to a Mexican. Well, one of my great grandmothers was Mexican and my daughter looked just like me, but also had some of her daddy's features. I was a dark complected baby and my husband has a medium complexion, we both have very dark hair and brown eyes. I know this was a little more than you asked for, but so many people don't think before they judge. My daughter has emotional problems and has since birth and I believe in my heart it is from the stress I went through during my pregnancy and thereafter.

Would it be wrong, yes.
Can she refuse it, yes...after all she is the mom.
But now if the son has it done, being the father, he is in the legal right and he doesn't even have to tell the wife.
If this is not an option and the grandma wants to do it 100% w/o either knowing...only legal way would be to take a sucker or something the child has sucked on and use that for the saliva test.
To take the child to the doctor for the test would and could result in kidnapping charges.

even although the attempt itself could be ninety 9.9 p.c. acurate, the outcomes would be questionable in a courtroom overseeing a paternity situation. Resonable doubt can upward thrust up from the source of the samples examined. replaced into the pattern taken from an acredited lab and in a sterile environment? what's the flexibility for bypass an infection, or intentional tampering? it must be a threat for between the mummy and dad to bypass a courtroom to push aside the attempt thoroughly because of the fact the attempt replaced into scientific proceedure administered without the consent of the mummy and dad. on the different hand a choose may even see the attempt as possibly reason to reserve a persist with up in a controlled putting. desire that enables

NO she has to have the consent of the custodial parent. They can obtain samples but in our state you have to have permission from the custodial parent to perform the test. If you know you are not telling lies and want to put this person to rest do the test and move on. Then for sure you will be able to get some kind of support whether it be financial or emotional.

if the mother has custody then there is nothing th grandmother can do without a lawyer. They will have to have a court order if you are not willing to give permission. do you have something to hide though? If not then let it happen. It will cause less crap, and then you can laugh in their face when you are right. also the money that will be spent on a lawyer could be going to other things for your child. not a lawyer. good luck

Ummm, I want to say no, and I don't know for sure. But I think the grandmother may be able to get away with it, if she lied well enough. Plus the mother has to be over 18 to have rights over the grandmother. I'd say bring the kid to the doctors, and if the doctor says no, then atleast you tried.
The mother should have rights to refuse the test, IF she is 18 and over.
[I don't know for sure, this is just my best guess.]

The mother (as long as she is a legal guardian) can refuse a DNA test unless it is court ordered.
