Appologies this is my first post on any forum
I was presumed farther to a boy march 2012. I initialy asked csa for dna test to confirm. Due to injury from a tour in afgahnistan i was unable to travel home.. Due to delay in not responding to csa i was presumed farther. ( sick notes to prove could not travel)
CSA have now told me if i want dna i must go through courts.Which seems unfair as i could not walk at the time and was confined to camp.
Due to costs i am wondering if i could apply for access. then dna test myself. Rather then 2 hearings at court one for dna and one for child access if positive
Or if there is a appel procees with the csa?
I have tried my best to research my self online but am simply lost in the legllal side of it a
please advice many thanks
Keeping the faith 🙂

I think the advice you have been given is probably correct. However, I will ask our experts from the CCLC and also CMO to pop on and give their opinions, so keep checking back here.
