(750 ILCS 46/404)
Sec. 404. Effect of genetic testing. Genetic testing taken under this Article shall have the following effect: (a) If the court finds that the conclusion of the expert or experts, as disclosed by the |
| evidence based upon the genetic testing, is that the alleged father is not the parent of the child, the question of paternity shall be resolved accordingly.
|
|
(b) If the experts disagree in their findings or conclusions, the question shall be
|
| weighed with other competent evidence of paternity.
|
|
(c) If the genetic testing results indicate that the alleged father is not excluded and
|
| that the combined paternity index is at least 1,000 to 1, and there is at least a 99.9% probability of paternity, the alleged father is presumed to be the father, and this evidence shall be admitted.
|
|
(d) A man identified under subsection (c) of this Section as the father of the child may
|
| rebut the genetic testing results by other genetic testing satisfying the requirements of this Article which:
|
|
(1) excludes the man as a genetic father of the child; or
(2) identifies another man as the possible father of the child.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Article, if more than one man is identified by
|
| genetic testing as the possible father of the child, the court shall order them to submit to further genetic testing to identify the genetic father.
