I was reading a post and I just thought of something. I know that when you have paternity testing done you have to have your picture taken. Does anyone know how to get ahold of the pictures. One of my more morbid curiosities is what ow looks like. I have never seen her and the idea just occured to me. Is that at all possible?<P>Thanks for humoring me...<P>broken_wings

I have never heard of pictures being taken. I think my H just showed driver license & proof of residence. How odd to take pictures. Carolyn

broken_wings, we never got actual results. the lawyer did, and my H did say that pictures were taken. i think to show OW to make sure that the correct guy showed up. i can understand your curiosity though. i knew OW, had met her before at a party before we were married. she is yucky. a true case of the H thinking with the wrong head.... <P>happy_girl

My h haad to get his picture taken, and somewhere in the test result papers, I read that ow AND oc had theirs taken as well. I had seen ow enough times to make me puke, but I did want to see what oc looked like, so I had h request a copy of the pictures. They did send a xerox, but it was so dark you couldn't hardly tell what the baby looked like. So it was pretty much a waste of time.<P>But your h does have the right to request a copy of the picture, if there was one taken. I had mine request a copy of the ENTIRE cs case file, which provided lots of useful info. for us, as well as some painful info - including a couple of letters from h to ow that I hadn't known about. So I would only recommend this route to the really stout-hearted.<BR>cd

They took pictures of everyone. In our dna results they attached a xerox copy of all the pictures. So I got to see the child who was already 2 and the oc. even though that day was rough getting the results. I had pure JOY over the fact that my daughter looked nothing like the oc. That my genes balanced out. Needless to say the oc did get alot of my husbands features, she is blond and blue eyed. The ow was nothing to brag about, very rough and masculine looking. I was glad that I could see everyone. If my daughter and the oc where in the same room you would never think they had the same father. A small blessing for my psyche!<P>babstr.

The dna testing in our case also took separate pictures of my h and the oc. The mother of the oc was holding him on her lap in their picture. Copies of the pictures were attached to their files. At the time of the dna testing my h did not know where the oc lived or what he looked like. Because the whole dna testing was started by the ow my h now had a way to locate and get contact with oc. He filed for visitation and the clerk began asing him questions to help with the paper work, she was so suprised when my h could not answer many of the question, last name , address, ss#. ect, of the oc, so she got the file and helped him. She said to my h here is a copy of a picture of the child, he said it was hard to make out. But that was his first look at him since he was a baby. Gabi1116

Your H can contact the case manager that handled your file/test and request a copy of the file. Depending on company policy, they may or may not release this information. Although, it shouldn't be too much of an issue as your H is a party to the case.

I hope you guys dont think I am totally obsessed with this, but.....I am. we lived in seperate stated (which I am sure most of you know). We called one of those 800 #'s to have it set up. So do we call them back and request it from them? Or do we need to find the clinic she went to? Oh this would just TOTALLY make my year!<BR>Thanks<BR>bw

The clinic that she went to would have collected the samples and any paperwork and then forwarded it to the company that you actually paid. Wherever you sent the check to is where the file should be located. Your H can call and request a copy of the file for his records. They may not give him everything as they have to protect her privacy...to a certain extent. In other words, they can't provide things such as her SSN.

Copies of the pictures of OW, OC, AND the other guy that had to take the DNA test are on H's test results. I personally think that OC looks like the other guy [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
