Yes, his father ordered the paternity test. My son and I gave our samples in June and no contact has been made between the child support office and dad to date. I called the child support office because he told me he was going to contact them (a lie) and they explained that they were still working to provide him due process before they could make a default judgement against him.
I had to file for support because my son and I are receiving state benefits.
Michigan law has specific provisions regarding refusal to take a paternity test: (emphasis added)
(1) In a proceeding under this act before trial, the court, upon application made by or on behalf of either party, or on its own motion, shall order that the mother, child, and alleged father submit to blood or tissue typing determinations that may include, but are not limited to, determinations of red cell antigens, red cell isoenzymes, human leukocyte antigens, serum proteins, or DNA identification profiling, to determine whether the alleged father is likely to be, or is not, the father of the child.
If the court orders a blood or tissue typing or DNA identification profiling to be conducted and a party refuses to submit to the typing or DNA identification profiling, in addition to any other remedies available, the court may do either of the following:
(a) Enter a default judgment at the request of the appropriate party.
(b) If a trial is held, allow the disclosure of the fact of the refusal unless good cause is shown for not disclosing the fact of refusal.
