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

    I think that gal was 2 months pregnant when she had the one night stand with your boyfriend.

    Also, he would be wise to cut all ties with her and REFUSE to see or bond with the kid. In other words, forget it and move on with his life. She would be stupid to try and go after him for child support knowing he isn't the father.

    Let her make the next LEGAL move and then he can demand, and get, a DNA test which will settle the matter. Tell your boyfriend not to lose any sleep over it.

    You could try to get a court ordered DNA test. My theory is that the reason she won't give it is because she has no clue who the real father is, but in case she needs finical support later, she has pegged someone as the father.
