You can only do this with a court ordered DNA test. Then it is out of the mothers hands.

Nope. If the father has not been adjudicated (declared by a court) the mother is the sole guardian and has to give consent, UNLESS, ordered by a court. Any attempt to obtain a DNA sample from the child or take the child to a medical professional to be tested is kidnapping and can be prosecuted. Even if the child is found to be the man's he will carry a kidnapping conviction and will lose most of his rights. Not a good plan. Until ordered by a court, mom is in charge and holds all the cards.

you can get a judge to order the test if you have sufficient evidence that your questions of paternity are legitimate. Also easily enough, if you are present at the time of birth the delivering physician can immediately tell you the baby's blood type. Of course there is a 50/50 % chance the baby will have your blood type if you are the father, but an official blood test cannot be performed in most states until he baby is a certain age and then as I said before you can get a judge to order the test for you.

Paternity tests may be taken without consent, but there is a law in the UK that is demanding that no test be given without the express knowledge of all involved.

Some places yes some places no. over here in the u.s. if you're on the birth certificate then you have all rights to to do what ever you want with that child concerning DNA testing to see if you're the father of that baby..

the father can have you court ordered to do one and in order to get an accurate reading he needs your DNA as well

Yes, that's how my friend found out his son wasn't his. But check anyway it may not be the same in your state.

Probably a grey area, but it should be okay if you have joint custody...
