A Singapore court has rejected a woman's bid to compel a DNA paternity test in her claim for a million Singapore dollars in child support from an alleged father. According to Channel NewsAsia, the judge said that while courts can order such testing, they require sufficient evidence before doing so—not merely bare allegations. The ruling establishes that family law courts apply a stringent evidentiary standard when determining whether to order paternity testing.
