1. Subject to subsection 2, if a genetic-testing specimen is not available from a man who
may be the father of a child, for good cause and under circumstances the court
considers to be just, the court may order the following individuals to submit specimens
for genetic testing:
a. The parents of the man;
b. Brothers and sisters of the man;
c. Other children of the man and their mothers; and
d. Other relatives of the man necessary to complete genetic testing.
2. Issuance of an order under this section requires a finding that a need for genetic
testing outweighs the legitimate interests of the individual sought to be tested.
