Is it possible that the divorce is final, if I hadn't received any notification of court dates or signed a waiver?

If you signed the petition, HE's the one who should have signed and filed the waiver. Why don't you just check with the court clerk where the divorce was to have been filed? The clerk can tell you if the petition and/or the waiver got filed, and if a divorce decree was ever entered. It's not likely that a divorce decree was entered without your signature.

Can DES do a DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

William R. Pelger
Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Divorce lawyer at Pelger Law
That's a complicated situation. You would have to file support enforcement proceedings against someone you have now remarried and share a home with? You really need to go to the Family Division, see a counselor and look at the file to learn what is actually going on. Or, hire a lawyer to do it for you. As far as the testing, the Family Division can do mouth swabs on a reputed father if paternity is an issue, but the story sounds suspicious to me. Normally, DNA testing is difficult to get retroactively, is generally done only by court order, and is usually initiated by one of the parties, not the Family Division.
