Depends: Is the affected child male? Do you have any symptoms? What will you do with the results? Since there is a large number of clotting disorders it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without knowing more details. If you are not planning on having more children, you probably do not need to be tested for your health. It would be prudent to talk to your doctor.
