Can I be forced to take a paternity test in California?
Please allow me explain the scenario. In October of 1993 I was dating Ms. TH, for easier reading we'll dub her as "MsTH". In December if 1993 MsTH disappeared without notice to become engaged to her ex-boyfriend. In May of 1993 MsTH was married [Santa Clara County] and in late September of 1993 gave birth to a son [Santa Clara County]. In February of 1997 I became married to another person as well [San Mateo County]. In 2005 [approximate] MsTH divorced from her husband after bearing two [2] children during the term of her marriage. Earlier this year I too finalized a divorce from my wife of 10 years after bearing two [2] children during the term of my marriage. MsTH has since attempted to contact me six [6] different times [San Mateo County] without notice at work and in the middle of the night at my home. I have been informed through gossip channels that, although MsTH originally told her ex-husband he was the father, MsTH now claims her first child born, in 1994, was fathered by me and the lack of resemblance between her ex-husband and son was the eventual reason for her marital problems which consequently led to a divorce.
To be honest it is a little spooky how MsTH even knows where I live, so this becomes a two part question.
1. Can I be forced to take a paternity test based on here-say from 14 years ago and
2. What should I do to secure a restraining order to prevent MsTH from coming around my home, office or even my children?
