1 in 3 Men Tested Not Biological Father, Group Urges DNA Verification Law

This report covers 1 3 men tested with key details and context.

The Fathers’ Association of Trinidad and Tobago is advocating for legislative reform after revelations that one in three men who requested paternity tests were found not to be the biological father of their child. From 2020 to September 2025, roughly 33% of the 440 men who underwent DNA testing were not the biological parents. Association President Rhondall Feeles denotes this as a stark awakening for the family law system, pushing for legislation to align with the accuracy and fairness of modern DNA testing. Trinidad & Tobago’s current laws often presume paternity based on marriage or signing the birth certificate, without scientific verification. This can lead to unintended consequences, with men legally and financially bound to children they are not biologically related to. The Association proposes mandatory DNA testing in all presumptive or contested paternity cases before maintenance or child support decisions are finalized. This reform is not intended to undermine mothers’ rights or parental responsibility, but to ensure that legal fatherhood correlates with biological fact. The Association emphasizes the emotional, social and legal benefits of this early verification system, including stability for family life and prevention of future disputes and distress.
