Anna Nicole Smith and her daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern were ordered by a Los Angeles judge on Tuesday to undergo a genetic paternity test by January 23rd, 2006.
Smith gave birth to Dannielynn in the Bahamas in September 2006 and claimed that her long time lawyer Howard K. Stern is the father. Former lover Larry Birkhead sued Anna Nicole in October to get a paternity test to prove who the father of the child was once and for all.
Online sports betting giant Bodog.com lists Larry Birkhead as a 2/3 favorite to be named the biological father.
Legal experts say it will be difficult to enforce the paternity test order as long as Anna Nicole remains in the Bahamas.
Smith was directed to provide saliva swabs from herself and Dannielynn. If she refuses, the judge could hold Smith in contempt and she would be arrested the next time she visits California.
