§ 26.26.575. Proceeding to adjudicate parentage -- Consequences of declining genetic testing
(1) An order for genetic testing is enforceable by contempt.
(2) If an individual whose paternity is being determined declines to submit to genetic testing as ordered by the court, the court may on that basis adjudicate parentage contrary to the position of that individual.
(3) Genetic testing of the mother of a child is not a condition precedent to testing the child and a man whose paternity is being determined. If the mother is unavailable or declines to submit to genetic testing, the court may order the testing of the child and every man whose paternity is being adjudicated.
