If a man requests paternity test, does that affect the court’s view on his rights to custody?
If the mother wants full custody, and the father wants a paternity test for purposes of child support, can this be used against him in a custody battle?

No, that cannot be used against him. In fact the courts will order a paternity test if the father is in question.
If he takes the test and it turns out he isn’t the father then it could affect his rights to custody assuming you weren’t married when the child was born.
Nope. Most courts will order a paternity test anyway. Wanting to make sure the baby is actually yours – that’s just smart.
