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.

61. I do not like the way Lawyer Opri handled the DNA case!

62. Finally somebody said it. I've been walking around for 2 days saying "MY TWO DAD'S". That is how this will end up. That's
why HKS is allowing visits by both LB and the evil mother to the
baby. Seidlin hinted at it throughout his proceedings. There is
enough evidence of ANS's intent to have HKS act as father to this
child.
MY TWO DADS.
Mark my words

64. my understanding is that even IF LB is proven the biological father
the Bahamian government does NOT recognize the "biological" father as
having any more rights over the "presumed" father. It is this way in
California also. I have a friend who lives in California whose wife
cheated on him and got preggo. She put the child up for adoption but
because he was married to her when the child was born HE still had to
sign the adoption papers because he was the "presumed" father. Maybe
this was why ANS and HKS were going to make it "official", so she
could come back to CA, claim that it was a common law marriage and
then they just made it official as a way to give LB the run around
some more in California so she could come back to fight the Marshall
case, etc. Remember, she was calling the Bahamas her "home" but in
order to fight her case with the Marshall's she would want to stay in
California courts and at the very least come back to testify so she
couldn't avoid being served and forced with a DNA test. She was
always 3 steps ahead of LB on the legal field. HKS couldn't
represent her in the Marshall case in the Bahama's. So maybe
Virgie's going after Dannielynn IS helping LB...time will tell.

65. WE ALL SUPPORT YOU LARRY,

You have a tough road ahead of you in the Bahamas but I am sure you were smart enough to have that "deposit" left on you by your daughter, tested for DNA!! We all know you are the father. Best of luck to you.

Please dont sell out, I know it will be tempting but please dont. I know you have already worked a deal w/howie but DONT LET HIM RUN OVER YOU and whatever you do, DONT WALK AWAY AND LEAVE HIM THE MONEY!

Even if you are only out for what is best for Dannielynn, you are going to have to accept the fact that she is going to need an extraordinary amount of care and you may need that money to help facilitate this. REGARDLESS, IT'S HER'S NOT HOWARDS!

All the people we have heard of that "she banged" (im sorry, couldnt resist a william hung moment), she never did w/howard, you can tell in the commitment ceramony pics that she is disgusted with the thought of sleeping with howard, EVEN IF SHE'S STONED OUT OF HER MIND* WHAT'S THAT TELL YA?

just my two cents

66. It has to be that Opri has already found out Larry is the father and
now has to focus on fighting that evil mom in Bahamas. It has to be
that Larry knew he could get some type of DNA from the baby if he
could just visit her. When she threw up on him that was the best
thing ever, talk about your DNA, PLENTY OF IT, IM SURE!
LOLOLOLWELCOME TO DADDYHOOD, LARRY, CONGRATS!NOW GO GET THAT BABY,
TAKE CARE OF HER AND DONT LOOK BACK AT CALIFORNIA AGAIN. the baby is
going to need to be protected. She needs to be raised someplace
rural, oh, say, KENTUCKY?????????????????????

70. Why is everyone so damned positive that L.B. is the father?! Were you in the room when they were having sex? Nope didn't think so, same goes for H.K.S. no one knows who the father is. I doubt A.N.S. did either. We are all just going to have to wait for the results.

Posted at 12:46PM on Feb 28th 2007 by This is so stupid

71. 48. For the record, they don't even need Anna's dna to prove paternity. To PROVE paternity all they need is the baby's dna and the father's dna. It makes it more legit to have the mother's, too, but it's not required.

Wrong,
if the DNA test showed larry was not the father it could be because the baby or her DNA was swapped thus they need ANS DNA to prove it was her kid that larry is being tested against

73. A child can have two fathers? Hell, where have I been all of my life? I have never heard of such a thing. If that is true, I'm gonna find the other father of my two children - maybe he'll help support them - the first one hasn't done worth a damn. This is just crazy!

74. anyone know the lady supreme court judge in Babama ?????

75. This is getting more and more serious with each passing day, the mother is laying in the morgue, the daughter is with a man who is not the father, the real father steps up to the plate and some stupid ass judge in Florida won't allow a DNA test WHY? Its a f*&% circus.................................
