What else can I help you with?
Where can you get a paternity test if your child lives abroad?
If you are living in India than OTS services can help you get all parties tested in all over the world. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent

In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.

confusing
IF YOU pay child support and sign birth certifacte does that estabilsh paternity?
By "sign the birth certificate" I assume you mean, signed a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. That establishes paternity. Paying child support does not establish paternity. But, if you're paying child support and later learn you're not the father, you cannot stop paying under any circumstances in 20 states, and had a two year limit to file in the other 30, even if the mother has married the biological father. Always get a paternity test before signing a birth certificate. see links
Can you get child support if the father's name is not on the birth certificate?

What rights do you as a father have?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, custody or joint custody, or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother.Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.
