The NY Daily News is reported that a South Carolina judge has ordered a paternity test for the 6-year-old son of a woman who claims to be James Brown's widow.
Judge Jack Early said the DNA test on James Brown 2nd should be completed within the next 30 days.
Trustees handling the singer's estate questioned the claims by Tomi Rae Hynie that her son is Brown's, attorneys representing Hynie and the child said.
"Clearly, James Brown has held up this child to be his son," said Peter Shahid, a court-appointed attorney for James Brown 2nd, adding that the child has received Social Security and insurance benefits since the soul singer's death.
Hynie's attorney, Robert Rosen, said his client has never objected to a paternity test.
"She's said that she was in favor and would do the test, provided that the other children also took the test," Rosen said. "She didn't feel like her son should be singled out."
