(This is section 612 of the UPA.)

This section rejects UPA (1973) § 9. Consistent with § 603, supra, this Act rejects the view that the child necessarily has independent standing in a parentage proceeding. On the other hand, if the court determines that the child in fact does have a position at variance with all the other litigants, an attorney may be appointed to represent that interest.

§1932.__Disclosure and recording of social security numbers

A person who is a party to a parentage action shall disclose that person's social security number to the court.__The social security number of a person who is subject to a judgment of parentage must be placed in the court records relating to the judgment of parentage.__Notwithstanding section 1953, the record of a person's social security number is confidential and is not open to the public.__The court shall disclose a person's social security number to the department for child support enforcement purposes.

Special Rules for Proceeding

to Adjudicate Parentage

§1941.__Admissibility of results of genetic testing; expenses

1.__Record admissible; objection.__Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a record of a genetic-testing expert is admissible as evidence of the truth of the facts asserted in the report unless a party objects to its admission within 14 days after its receipt by the objecting party and cites specific grounds for exclusion. The admissibility of the report is not affected by whether the testing was performed:

A.__Voluntarily or pursuant to an order of the court or a support enforcement agency; or

B.__Before or after the commencement of the proceeding.

2.__Testimony of experts.__A party objecting to the results of genetic testing may call one or more genetic-testing experts to testify in person or by telephone, videoconference, deposition or another method approved by the court. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the party offering the testimony bears the expense for the expert testifying.
