Tiger Woods may be served with a Paternity DNA Test
Posted on | November 30, 2010 | No Comments
Devon James, a former porn star, escort and girlfriend of Tiger Woods demands the world famous golfer take a paternity DNA test to prove that he is the father of her child. James’ child is of a typical African-American skin colour and she says that even this is enough to establish the paternity of the child: Woods is the only African-American she has ever had sex with.
Woods is a known philander and has been involved in numerous cases of infidelity. It is rumoured that James is in fact Wood’s 14th mistress. James has pursued her claim for a legal paternity test under her real name Melinda Jannette. Her son is 9 years of age and she has even given him the middle name Tiger, which she says is a tribute to his alleged father.
If Woods proved to be the biological father of the child after carrying out the paternity test, James plans to claim the following:
• Parental responsibility
• Time sharing
• Child support
James’ mother, who has custody of the child, Austin T. James, has discounted her daughter’s claims, saying it is impossible that Tiger Woods is Austin’s father. Apparently, a paternity test was already carried out in 2002 and had already established the identity of the child’s father. James says she does not remotely believe her mother has any information regarding the child’s paternity and rebuffs a paternity test having ever established a father. Other sources have commented that this paternity test was in fact carried out and disproves Tiger as the father. James was 19 at the time she had the affair with Woods and was attending a Christian school.
James wants the judge to issue a court ordered paternity test (legal paternity test) and have the child’s father play a role in his life. The golfer’s assets are enormous, some estimates say around 500 million $. As happens in all cases involving wealthy men, people wonder whether the mother is after the money. Groups advocating the rights of men have coined the term ‘paternity fraud’ to describe those cases where a woman names a man as the biological father knowing very well that he isn’t or that there is a chance he is not.
Paternity DNA testing (test de paternitate) can easily be carried out by rubbing a simple mouth swab inside the mouth. Cells easily detach from the cheeks with the friction caused by the rubbing motion within the mouth. These cells contain the necessary DNA to complete the paternity test. Paternity testing is accurate and reliable and can exclude a father with 100% probability and include him as the biological father with a probability of 99.99%.
Having a world famous person like Tiger Woods in the headlines with a woman demanding a paternity DNA test is nothing new. Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy and Keanu Reeves are amongst other big names who have been involved in paternity disputes.

Paternity rights and the Law
Posted on | November 1, 2010 | No Comments
Paternity rights whether it comes to children is quite an issue everywhere. Normally, one can encounter two situations. The first is pretty common, an unmarried woman have a child and wished to seek child support from the biological father of the baby. The other case is the opposite because it is the man who wants his rights over a child he believes to be his.
More about Paternity Rights
A father has every right if he wishes to prove that he has fathered a child. In this day and age however he will require two things:
• A paternity test
• A court order
The father can petition in court for a paternity DNA test. The court may not necessarily pay for the legal fees and the test. The intervention of the court very much depends on whether the mother consents to the DNA paternity test or refuses to submit the baby for DNA testing. In the latter case, the father will actually have to get the court to impose or rather order a paternity test to be carried out.
Conversely, should the mother consent to the paternity test she can opt to have a legal paternity test done by a DNA testing company and then present this to the court should the test be an inclusion of paternity. Like this, the father in question, who has been proved to be the biological, may assume his legal responsibilities such as child support payments.
If the father wishes to have the court issue a court ordered paternity test he will need provide evidence that can make the court believe that he might be father of the child which would mean proving some kind of relationship with the mother.
Can the court refuse a paternity test?
There is time frame in which the father has to make his claim in court; if a father makes a claim to paternity 2 years after he has become aware of the birth of the child his claim might well be turned down.
The results of the paternity test
The results of a court ordered test go straight to the court and are considered. If the results show that alleged father is the biological father of the child, a paternity order is issues. Paternity rights secure a father when there is a challenge to paternity and this is a
Ancestry DNA testing on Hitler’s relatives
Posted on | September 28, 2010 | 1 Comment
DNA ancestry testing has shown that Adolf Hitler descended for the race he most abhorred. Our ancestry is very much etched in our DNA and testing for it can scientifically tell us who are our ancient ancestors likely were as well as enlightening us of where they came from and their migration patterns.
Hitler persecuted Jews. He abhorred the race which he did not even deem to be human his name remains synonymous with evil. Within a span of just a few years the systematic extermination of Jews brought the death of 6 million Jews. Whatever would Hitler have said had he known the results of his ancestry DNA test? – His genes tell us that his ancestors and anthropological origins strongly link back to the Jews and to Northern African tribes such as the Moroccan Berbers.
To be able to find Hitler’s ancestry, Jean-Paul Mulders and Marc Vermeeren, have had to find living descendants of Hitler’s; they in fact did track down some cousins; one of the an Austrian farmer known as Norbert H. Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself in the head; his body was probably burned and thus getting a DNA sample today from his remains is impossible. However, using the DNA of relatives can give definitive answers about the ancestry.
The DNA testing of ancestry was done by simply taking saliva samples using mouth swabs which are rubbed on the inside of the mouth. The results of the laboratory analysis showed that Hitler belongs to a haplogroup known as the E1b1b.
How the receipt of these results will be taken is one interesting question! It would appear that many in the Berber communities around the world are already outraged at being genetically linked to a person who is, for many, something akin to the embodiment of evil.
Ancestry DNA testing can have a very specific scope and perhaps link two people together or a more general scope which sets out to find you geogenetic links by comparing your DNA with studied anthropological groups and geographical regions. How ironic that ancestry DNA testing has revealed that Adolf Hitler detested the race he originated from with such virulent vengeance.

Ancestry DNA testing in Australia
Posted on | August 13, 2010 | 1 Comment
We all share common ancestors. But where did these ancestors come from? Who where they? An ancestry DNA test can answer these questions because the answers are written in your genetic makeup. Moreover, many DNA testing companies offer ancestry tests in Australia.
Some 60,000 years ago we all share common ancestors that lived in Africa. They did not stay there, but immigrated to various parts of the world- Europe, North and South America, Asia and other places. This immigration pattern was crucial because it created variations in each groups genetic make-up depending on the conditions in which they lived- mutations resulted in their genes. These mutations are what make it possible for an ancestry DNA test to track the migration pattern of your ancestors and locate the place your specific group of ancestors came from. The test will link you to populations and anthropological regions around the world and have them plotted on a map so that you can easily visualise. You will be connected genetically to perhaps such groups as Sub-Saharan, Native American, East Asian or European.
Some terms you will come across in your ancestry DNA test:
Mutations in DNA
A mutation is a permanent change in which the DNA sequence is somehow altered; with these changes come actual changes to the person or to traits. A very short note on mutations; mutations are of course not always harmful- some mutations are very important and very beneficial and enable us and enabled our ancestor to survive in the conditions they lived.
Haplotype:
A Haplotype is a group of closely linked genetic loci which are found on a single chromosome and which are inherited together. A Haplotype is the contracted form of Haploid phenotype.
Haplogroup:
Haplogroups are central to understand your ancestry test because these groups will show the early migration patterns of your ancestors and are also commonly connected with a geographical region.
There can be small variations in ancestry testing and information provided from company to company although some may use much more sophisticated testing equipment and have a larger genetic database to help them provide a more thorough result. Whilst ancestry DNA testing can be very interesting and enlightening, connecting you with regions, populations and establishing your geogenetic origins, they will not be able to tell you any specific names or connect you to any specific person or family.
Paternity Test for All Australian fathers
Posted on | July 28, 2010 | 2 Comments
Paternity testing is pretty much the standard means to help you find out whether you are the true biological father of your child or children. It is a well known fact, proven by various studies that many children are calling the wrong man daddy and most of these daddies do not know they are in fact not genetically related to their children. Groups advocating men’s rights in Australia are going as far with this as to push for a mandatory paternity test for all fathers.
Many DNA testing companies have provided numbers regarding the number of exclusions they have in the paternity tests they carry out. The numbers vary but are consistently high. Other statistics have been published by groups interested in the matter and the results have unnerved and planted doubts in the minds of many men; plagued by a lingering doubt that they may have been deceived or led into thinking they have fathered children which in reality they have not, many many men are rushing to purchase home paternity tests.
Home paternity testing offers the possibility to carry out a paternity test in the privacy and comfort of one’s own home. In the vast majority of cases, the mother would be unaware that the father is actually carrying out a DNA paternal test. All a father needs to do is purchase a testing kit from a company providing these tests. Inside the kit he will have mouth swabs which he will rub inside his mouth and inside the mouth of the child he doubts is his. Once the sampling of DNA is complete, swabs can be sent back for laboratory analysis.
For men, there is much at stake in not being the biological father- not only on the emotional level but even on the financial one. Around the world, countless men are and have been lumped with paying hefty payments in child support for children with whom they have no genetic link and moreover, we cannot forget the impact on children who may later in life find out they were brought up by their non-biological father- very sad and very true.
The Child Support Agency (CSA) in Australia needs little more proof of paternity than the name on the birth certificate and thus, one can only guess how much time, money, and emotions some men have invested in children.
A paternity test for all dads who have newly fathered a baby is an idea; however, issues centre on the fact that such a law places into doubt the integrity of all women and certain moral issues may come to bear that may result in marital conflicts or conflicts between couples.
