£200 needed for a DNA paternity test
M is a 24 year old Ghanaian national, who first came to the UK to work. She has just had a little baby, and the baby's father is British. However, as M was previously married, and she is not technically divorced, under UK law, nationality is derived from the person the mother is married to, rather than the biological father. Therefore, the Home Office now requires a DNA test, to confirm paternity, so that M can then apply for her baby to be British in line with her biological father. M is currently not working, as she is looking after her baby, and she has No Recourse to Public Funds
