Can he be denied a paternity test?
Briefly here's my friend's situation. The mother of this child had a baby, said it was his, moved across the country, and started him on child support. A whole lot of child support. He doesn't think the baby's his and wants a paternity test which she's constantly denied him. She also foraged his name on the birth certificate. Can she continue to deny the test to keep collecting child support? The court's look like they're not doing anything because his name is on the birth certificate.

One, the mom has committed identity theft, so that is illegal. Two, it is his right as a presumed parent to get a paternity test. If he were Joe Nobody, then he couldn’t but she said he is the parent, so he can get a test. It is supposedly his child, so as a parent he can authorize a DNA test done on the child. Especially if he is paying child support.
I think someone is lying. It doesn’t matter if his name is on the birth certificate or not. Every person I’ve known that had to file for child support, took a paternity test. He needs to stop sending her money and when the case goes to court, he’ll have to travel back to give a sample of his dna. If the woman refuses to take it to court, then she’s lying and knows the kid isn’t his. This makes me think of a girl I went to high school with… nice girl, but she got pregnant at 18. I was friends with her and we all thought it was her boyfriend "joe"’s kid. A few years down the road, it turned out not to be his. So, she lied about sleeping with someone else, but at least "Joe" isn’t paying child support for a kid that isn’t his.
He needs to get a good lawyer
Usually unless he signed the birth certificate (in that case he does have to go to court and request a DNA test) they do the DNA when child support is established.
