If you are claiming that the custodial "parent" is not actually the child's father, you can submit a petition to whichever court (or agency) that granted him custody, challenging his assertion of fatherhood. In order to determine the child's rightful father, a blood test may be ordered to determine the validity of the charge. -CAUTION- if the custodial parent is the father named on the child's birth certificate this all becomes much more problematic.
Another Perspective
If the custodial parent is the mother and you as the non-custodial parent want to confirm your paternity you should visit the state family court with jurisdiction over your case and make your inquiry there. You could ask to speak with a legal advocate. You could also obtain a sample from the child and have the paternity testing done on your own and at your own expense. If you have the resources you should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
Once paternity is established, the non-custodial parent has the right to request visitation, just as the custodial parent has the right to request support.
No, there are no laws in Virginia that makes it illegal for a custodial parent to live with their boyfriend or girlfriend. If you feel you child is unsafe in this situation, you will have to pursue custody through the courts.
Generally, no.

Absolutely not. Shelter, food and clothing basics are it. If the child wants phone service, he/she should go to work and earn the money. Or, if the non-custodial parent differs, and the custodial parent agrees, he can pay for it.
If court ordered
No. If he bitches, let me know, I'll talk to him.
Yes, since we know she is the parent. The father have to prove paternity by a DNA test in court and he can then petition for visitation, custody and also pay child support.
Yes, of course. The custodial parent is entitled to anyrecord concerning the child. Many non-custodial parents provide insurance coverage. That does not bar the parent with custody from the child's medical records. That wouldn't make sense and would be counter productive to the best interest of the child.Yes, of course.
