It raises the costs of paternity testing. Instead of privately, cheaply performing a test, you have to do it publicly and expensively. This de facto stops many men from performing tests, which is significant and not something you can just dismiss. Legal restrictions on consensual activity is not normal and needs a good justification for it. It's the norm to be free to do as you please as long as all parties involved consent.
Maybe you want to figure out if the child is genetically yours before you initiate divorce.
- seszett 7y agoThe legal costs of a divorce are not very high in France (I should know) justice is quite different from the US. And a legal paternity test is 150€, which is cheaper than what most private labs offer. > consensual activity > all parties involved consent Well that's the crux of it, indeed. Most private testing is not done in a consensual way because that would require the assent of the child, which is likely minor, meaning it requires the assent of both its legal parents. If you have the assent of both the father and mother, it's easy (and free) to ask a court to allow the testing.
