2011 Washington Code
Title 26 Domestic relations
26.26 Uniform parentage act.
26.26.445 Genetic testing -- Identical brothers.
*** CHANGE IN 2011 *** (SEE 1267-S2.SL) ***
(1) The court may order genetic testing of a brother of a man identified as the father of a child if the man is commonly believed to have an identical brother and evidence suggests that the brother may be the genetic father of the child.
(2) If genetic testing excludes none of the brothers as the genetic father, and each brother satisfies the requirements as the identified father of the child under RCW 26.26.420 without consideration of another identical brother being identified as the father of the child, the court may rely on nongenetic evidence to adjudicate which brother is the father of the child.
