This is ridiculous - how can a Fla court not have jurisdiction of a DNA sample it holds in its possession and how can it refuse to follow a California request? Weird. The judge was annoying.

I agree. Opri's point is that the Fla court has all the authority to order ANS's DNA smaple be turned over to their DNA expert. Why would a Bahamian court have more authority to order Dr. Perper to turn it over? That is ridiculous.

The other part -- compelling DL's DNA sample be taken -- is not as clear cut. Although, I think since LB properly filed his paternity action in CA before ANS absconded with his child (albeit in utero) to thwart the court's jurisdiction, then the CA order should be enforceable. Fla should be able to give that CA order full faith and credit pursuant to the UCCJA.

Why should we allow people to abscond with children (even in utero) and thwart court jurisdction in this way? That would be rewarding unclean hands and flies in the face of the principles on which our system is based.

Of this judge denies the California judge I assume Opri can appeal in Florida?
