Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided February 22, 2011No. 63774-6-IPublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
¶1 The primary issue in this appeal is whether the trial court correctly denied a properly supported motion for genetic testing in this action to establish parentage. Washington’s Uniform Parentage Act (UPA), ch. 26.26 RCW, mandates genetic testing of children and other designated *219individuals, subject to limited exceptions. RCW 26.26.405. On this record, none of those exceptions apply. Accordingly, the trial court improperly denied the motion of Mark Kjolhaug, the petitioner in this action. We reverse and remand with instructions.1
