Question about paternity testing with twins?

My husbands twin brother "might" have a son and is being young and stupid about it. He is saying it cannot possibly be his son, blah blah blah. This girl swears up and down that it is. She doesn't have money to get lawyers involved, so I thought maybe we can get a home paternity test just to see what that says. However, my brother in law will not take the test. If my husband takes it, it should state the truth right? They are identical twins, they do have the same DNA right?

She wants to be 100% sure before she does get lawyers involved and everything.

well doing a home dna test isn't legal, so it won't matter what the test says

Actually Identical twins will have the exact same DNA so what you are saying will work. It might cause a family issue for you to go behing your brother-in-laws back though.

Are you sure they are identical twins? They could be twins and not be identical just look a lot alike like brothers. If they are identical twins they will have the same dna if not they they won't. I understand that you and your husband want to help and all but its really not your place to step in. If your brother-in-law says the kid isn't his then maybe its not but it should be settled between him and the girl who had the kid.

Talk to the DNA place. Explain that you are trying to determine if the child is biologically related to your husband, who is the twin of the purported father. It will help with the findings to give them the facts.

Use an accredited lab.

I think the fact that you brother in law won't take the test is proof enough that he thinks the child is his.

If you have your husband take the test, all your bil will say is that it's your husband's baby!

don't be a idiot and waste money for a test that is not the biological father.that is FRAUD.

if she wants to know if he is the father or not, all she has to do is go to court and file for a paternity test.he will be required to take it and lawyers do NOT need to be involved.
