Who has to pay for the paternity test in a child support case?

Usually the father has to pay for himself, the mother, and for the child.Who has to pay for the paternity test in a child support case?
the parent who requests it.Who has to pay for the paternity test in a child support case?
Who ever wants the test done, but if the D.A has the case they will pay and the test and then the father will have to pay them back if it proves the child is his.
Whoever ordered the test has to pay for it
Generally, if the father is denying paternity and refuses to pay support until he is proven the father, he has to pay. But some judges make the mother re-pay for the test of it comes back he is not the father.
It depends on the state u live in. I live in SC and if the father is found to be the father he pays, but if he is found not to be the court actually pays.
the test has to be paid for by the father if it shows that he IS the father. if he isnt i dont think anyone pays
Where I live the state pays. If the man is the father than they go after him for reimbursement. Even with multiple test, happened to my friend, she had 3 before getting it right!
It is suppose to be the parent requesting it but often it is the Father that pays for it.





If cost is a factor, try talking to the child support people. They may be able to get everything set up and may be able to waive the fees or get the father to pay.
