Section 26-17-508 Genetic testing when specimens not available. (a) Subject to subsection (b),
if a genetic-testing specimen is not available from an individual who may be the mother or
the father of a child, for good cause and under circumstances the court considers to be just,
the court may order the following individuals to submit specimens for genetic testing: (1)
the parents of the individual; (2) brothers and sisters of the individual; (3) other children
of the individual and their other parent; and (4) other relatives of the individual necessary
to complete genetic testing. (b) Issuance of an order under this section requires a finding
that a need for genetic testing outweighs the legitimate interests of the person sought to
be tested. (Act 2008-376, p. 666, §2.)...

Section 26-17-622 Consequences of declining genetic testing. (a) A court order for genetic
testing is enforceable by contempt. (b) If a party declines to submit to genetic testing ordered
by the court, the court for that reason may adjudicate parentage contrary to the position
of that party. (c) 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. (Act 2008-376, p. 666, §2.)...

objecting to the results of genetic testing may call one or more genetic-testing experts to

Section 26-17-608 Estoppel to deny paternity. (a) In a proceeding to adjudicate the parentage
of a child having a presumed father or to challenge the paternity of a child having an acknowledged
father, the court may deny a complaint seeking to disprove paternity if the court determines
that: (1) the conduct of the mother or the presumed or acknowledged father estops that party
from denying parentage; and (2) it would be inequitable to disprove the father-child relationship
between the child and the presumed or acknowledged father. (b) When determining whether to
deny the complaint, the court shall consider the following factors: (1) the length of time
between the proceeding to adjudicate parentage and the time that the presumed or acknowledged
father was placed on notice that he might not be the genetic father; (2) the length of time
during which the presumed or acknowledged father has assumed the role of father of the child;
(3) the facts surrounding the presumed or acknowledged...
