Tiger Woods' Mistress Files Paternity Action

Recently, one of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses filed legal documents in Manatee County, Florida.  The mistress, who filed the action under her legal name of Melinda Jannette, is asking that a judge determine the paternity of her 9 year old son, Austin Brinling.  The respondent listed on Jannette's petition was listed as Elderick Woods.

TMZ reports that the documents and petition were created to "establish paternity, parental responsibility, time-sharing, and/or child support of a minor child or children."  The documents also state that the person filing is trying to legally establish who is the father of a child.

At this time, the 9 year old is staying with Melinda's mother and the grandmother asserts that a DNA test was performed in 2002.  The test showed that another man was the boy's father.

However, Melinda asserts that her mother does not have any real DNA results and she plans to have Tiger submit to testing.
