There wasn't much to see in the first hearing in the case of a Bulloch County woman seeking to determine if comedian Chris Rock is the father of her 13-year old child.
Attorneys for Rock and Kali Bowyer stood in front of Superior Court Judge John Turner at 9:30 a.m. inside the Bulloch Judicial Building for a matter of moments before asking to meet with the judge in his chambers, out of public view.
Approximatley 35 minutes later, Turner returned to the courtroom and proceeded to hear other cases while the attorneys left.
Turner offered no comment on what was said behind closed doors. Also, a court clerk said no papers were filed with the court as a result of Tuesday's hearing. It is unclear what the next step in the case will be.
Bowyer isn't suing Rock for child support. Instead, she's seeking to determine if Rock is, indeed, the father of her child.
"I have never stated publicly or privately that in fact I am 100 percent positive that Chris is the father. If I were 100 percent positive I would not have requested a DNA test, I would have gone to the lawyers and courts for child support order," Bowyer said in a statement last month.
Bowyer was unable to be reached for comment after Tuesday's hearing.
Bowyer filed papers in the Bulloch County Courthouse in March seeking to compel Rock to a paternity test. News of the filing broke in April and Bowyer then indicated the case would be moved to New York. However, shortly after it was moved, the case was returned to Statesboro at the request of Rock's attorney.
Rock is a former Saturday Night Live star, who recently starred in the movie, "I Think I Love My Wife."
