The father of my child has been there for his son since he was born but yesterday when he had got caught cheating he started denying the fact, so i told him if he does not believe that he is not the father than i want him to get a paternity test, of course he refuse to have one done because he know and i know that he is our son, i dont want to take him for child support not just yet but if he starts to slack up when it comes to his son than it shall be done,so instead i want to know, how do i go about filing for a court order so that he can have a paternity test done even though he is denying his son and denying to have a paternity test done what shall i do,i am from Newnan Georgia

You will have to see a lawyer, and have a paternity suit filed against the father in court.
If you're worried about money, look for free legal aid networks in your area, that may file the paper work for you?
Some lawyers may take the case on contingency...meaning, if you establish this guy as the father, and the court requires him to make support payments, the lawyer will get a fee after you have won your case.
Best of luck, and this guy sounds like a loser...you can do better. Hang in there...things will get better.

the court will not order him to take a paternity test solely to find out if he is the father. That's something that the two of you have to agree on. The court is there for no other reason than to establish support. But on the other hand if you start a child support case against him parentage is the first part of a paternity action. So you have to make your mind up and my advice would be since things are going down hill is to do it. If you don't you will regret it later. Good luck.

well when you do decide to fo for child support, they will ask him if he is the father, if he says i dont know or no they will order a dna test. however if he never objects to being the father, then there is nothing you can really do.

If your on state assistance, just tell them he is refusing to take responisbility and they will order him to take one.
If your not then you will have to get a private attorny, My ex knows he is the dad, but doesnt come see them, or pay support. Im not on welfare for I am not forced to make him. I dont want his help nor do i need it.
