Family Judge: No DNA from Dannielynn

A Florida family court judge just rejected Larry Birkhead's lawyer's request to take a DNA sample from Dannielynn Stern, the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith that Birkhead claims he fathered. However, the judge agreed to "help" the California judge deciding the paternity case with any DNA evidence from Smith that's necessary.

Judge Lawrence Korda ordered the DNA taken from Anna Nicole's body to be preserved if it is needed by Judge Robert Schneider of Los Angeles County Superior Court to decide the paternity battle between Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern.

Interestingly, in response to a lawyer's question, he said that by Florida law it is "conceivable" that a child can have two fathers.

31. Don't they understand find out who the daddy is, then he can lay Anna to rest! When are they just going to let her rest in peace?

32. This is actually a win for TEAM LARRY they get it kicked back to CA....not that it likely matters a bit at this point.

I'm pretty certain, based on the demeanor of the lawyers, Opri in particular, that they've settled with SCUMBAG STERN behind the scenes and are just going through the motions and tying up the loose ends.

33. WTF is this even being issued for. The child is in another country. she has never set foot so to speak on American soil the Florida courts already ruled that they have no jurisdiction the other day dammit get to the issue at hand!! There is a rotting body at the flippin' morgue.. BURY IT ALREADY this is sickening!!!

Posted at 12:29PM on Feb 28th 2007 by ....Grateful i don't live in FLORIDA!!!

34. Deb Opri doesn't need to raise Dannielynn with Larry Birkhead... it's apparent they have a love affair going :)

Posted at 12:26PM on Feb 28th 2007 by this case is pure bullshit - HOWARD SUPPORTER!

35. The child's attorney? Where? A child should know who his father is? Milstein's kid's could have 2 fathers. Milstein is a gay dad.

36. This case makes me sick. Birkhead is obviously the father - and, luckily, he seems like the most sane guy in the Baby Daddy Sweepstakes. These "judges" need to start putting the baby's wellfare first and foremost. Leaving her with Stern is like issuing her death warrant.

37. What the crap? Two fathers??? Is that not pushing gay marriages??? Gay Marriage is not a issue here. Dang!!! Can they not just say "Do a DNA and let this baby get on with her life." This is all about the $$$$$$$$!!! Move on!!!

38. One thing I have to say is....Howard K $tern cant refuse to give a DNA test-not if it is court ordered. He has no choice in the matter. It is not about him...It is about this beautiful baby....

39. Opri has this all planned out, people.

40. Many babies go their whole lives not knowing who their father is and here is every opportunity for Dannielynn to be with her father and she can't?! Whack, that is whack!

41. Califonia is screwed, the flordia judges won't let Howard or the baby leave the Bahamas and they won't let any DNA be taken. Bahamas say Howard is the father just because the mother said so. Does anyone besides me smell a payoff here?

42. Hey, they got the FORMALITY of getting ANS dna turned over....so much legal bullshit to go through. That's another plus for Team Larry.

Again, it's of no matter at this point if they're settling behind the scenes...

43. Larry is supposed to have visited Danielynn and Entertainment Tonite reported says she threw up on him. If true, they HAVE DNA. Get that shirt to the nearest paternity lab.

This is GOOD news for Larry. He can fight on two fronts, CA & the Bahamas.
