An erroneous order for genetic testing should be corrected through certiorari proceedings. “However, this court has held that an erroneous order for genetic testing ‘cannot be corrected through a direct appeal, for the improper genetic testing requiring a blood draw would have already been completed’ and thus any error in the order ‘must be corrected through certiorari proceedings.’ Price, 958 So. 2d at 1046; see also State, Dep't of Revenue ex rel. Sharifv. Brown, 980 So. 2d 590, 590 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008) (holding that a potentially erroneous order requiring a mother and child to submit to genetic testing for a determination of paternity ‘threatens what we have held to be irreparable harm that cannot be cured on plenary appeal’); Dep't of Revenue v. Long, 937 So. 2d 1235, 1237 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006)” J.S. and C.L. v. SMM
