You should be able to establish paternity by testing someone in the fathers immediate family, such as a brother, sister, mother, father, etc...the family of the father still carry his DNA even after he is dead.

No, as she need not even know, unless it applies to child support. With a 30% paternity fraud rate, men should always check paternity. see link

Issues of child custody are not settled by names on birth certificates. Generally, the court will try to determine what is in the best interest of the child. Who is a better parent, the father or the mother? Who will take better care of the child? That is the issue.
