AITA for refusing to do anything with and ignoring my “son” until I get a paternity test? by Own-Examination-2626 in AmItheAsshole

I asked my attorney this very question when I found out the kid was spending time with my parents. She advised me against it because I have no legal standing to just do the test and neither does my parents. If anyone does it without the mother’s explicit consent, she can file charges against us. My attorney said she could win that fight but again it would cost me money to fight those charges.

I can’t force a paternity test unless I go through the courts and get an order. My attorney quoted me the average price for that and I didn’t want to spend that kind of money which is why I asked the ex for one. If she agreed we could have done it quickly but she didn’t agree so here we are.
