An Ontario woman has made headlines recently after claiming that her four children were sired by actor Keanu Reeves. The 46 year old woman sued the actor, claiming that he owed her child support for her 4 children, all of whom are in their 20s. The woman claimed that she and Reeves were childhood friends, meanwhile Reeves denies even knowing who the woman is.

Reeves attorneys have advised him to take a DNA Paternity test to put any rumors or doubt over whether he is the father of the children to rest. In her suit against Reeves, the Ontario woman has asked for $3 million per month in spousal support (retroactive from November 2006) and $150,000 per month in child support (retroactive from June 1988). That adds up to about $140 million.

DNA Paternity tests are laboratory tests that examine the genetic material that a child inherited from his or her biological parents. The DNA test will compare the material and calculate the probability that a certain man fathered a certain child. DNA testing is believed to establish a father’s paternity with over 99 % accuracy and has been a major breakthrough in establishing paternity. They are used to not only establish paternity, but also to challenge paternity, as they will be used in this instance with Mr. Reeves.
