Circuit court properly entered finding of nonpaternity of minor based on DNA testing although Respondent and child's mother had signed voluntary acknowledgment of paternity (VAP) and he signed birth certificate as the father. A minor, by and through the GAL, has standing to challenge the paternity of a man who signed a VAP and birth certificate, but was later found not to be the biological father based on DNA test results, as minor was not in privity with either party when they executed VAP.
