For all of you desperate to find out if Lindsay Lohan does—or does not—have a new kid sister: Sit back, it's going to be a while.

E! News has learned that the paternity testing company Michael Lohan tapped to determine if he is the father of 13-year-old Ashley Kaufmann won't process the test without a court order.

"I got a letter saying I need something from the court before they'll process anything," said Lohan. "And I didn't get that before. So, now I have to go back to my attorney."

Lohan says he is still doubtful that Ashley, the daughter of a Texas woman he had an affair with more than 14 years ago, is his child. He acknowledges he had a brief relationship with Kristi Kaufmann when he and his then wife, Dina Lohan, were temporarily separated.

But he adds that their relationship was brief and that Kaufman moved in with a new boyfriend shortly thereafter. It's that man, Michael alleges, who is the likely father.

"The timing is just off," Lohan said in a previous interview. "If she's mine, I'll take responsibility. But I wasn't with her nine months before Ashley was born."

Lohan said he's disappointed the test results will take longer than he initially thought.

"But I'll do whatever it takes to find out," he says. "Everyone will know the truth soon."
