A woman is taken to court by an illegal immigrant and father of her child, following a very brief affair.
He has shown no interest in the child, nor is it wanted.
Now, to avoid deportation, he has legal representation to take the woman to court, to prove his paternity through enforced DNA testing, and then use the Human Rights laws to assert his right to family life and avoid deportation.
The hard working woman is a nurse, married with four other children and her marriage has been long reconciled, with her loving husband accepting the child as his own and treating the child the same as his other children.
The woman cannot afford a solicitor, and is refused legal aid.
Who can she turn to for help?
The child in question was her fourth child, and she also has a fifth child aged 20 months with her husband.
Three days ago, whilst three months pregnant, the woman lost her baby, and the stress of the legal proceedings are probably a contributory factor.
The enforced DNA testing is, I believe, also an infringement of the womans human rights, the right to privacy and family life.
Please help and advise. This is a heartbreaking situation.

Thank you for all of your posts.
The child is three, and her natural father has never shown any interest in her whatsoever. He has never offered child support, not that it is wanted.
His contact was initiated through this his solicitor once the Home Office were on his case.
Thanks again.
