Confusion! why is she delaying the DNA?

My current boyfriend had a one night stand last year before he met me and was told he was the father of a child- who was born 2months before the due date, weighing 7lbs! So naturally we don't think he is the father. Since then, he has asked the mother on numerous occasions to get a DNA test done- which she has agreed to, but keeps coming up with excuses and delaying actually getting the test done. Why?? Surely if the mother KNOWS its his child- she would do it asap? Waiting around for her to do it is exhausting. His name is not on the birth certificate, she dosen't want any support (yet) she won't give him her address and all she wants is for him to bond with the child which he has found hard to do not knowing if its his. Is there anything to do to resolve this? Its a stupid situation!

Thanks

    Get a court order for a DNA test. If she wants the father to bond with the child when there is no proof, that means she wants to be with him. Maybe she knows there is a chance that the baby is not even his. She just wants to use the baby as an excuse to see him. Why would she delay it. If it is his she would get child support. There is something fishy going on. Tell your boyfriend to stay away until there is DNA proof.

    The mother of the child knows the truth about who is really the father of her child. Why doesn't she want any support from the so called father but at the same time she wanted your bf to bond with her child? it doesn't add up to me honestly. If possible ask your bf to ask the mother of the child to do the DNA for him to bond with the child.

    you need to go to court/solicitor and force her to take test to get resolved
