Can you get a court ordered paternity test even if the child is older?
Yes, if paternity has not been already established.
What happens after answering the paternity suit paternity is already established?
It depends on how you answered the paternity suit. If you are not the parent and it is proved that you are not the father, nothing more needs done. If you are the parent, many more court dates could come to determine custody and child support.

If you are an unwed mother in Kansas how do you get sole custody when the baby is born?
You already have sole custody until the father establishes his paternity in court and requests custody rights. Unmarried fathers have no automatic rights. They must establish their rights through a court action. 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 legally 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 and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

How do you I file for sole custody of your son when you are not married to his father?
Generally, as an unmarried mother you already have sole custody of your child under the law in every state. The father must establish his paternity in court in order to obtain shared custody and visitation rights. Until he does, you have sole legal custody.
Can a father go to court to order a paternity test if he already claimed the child as his?
Yes. He can "claim" all he wants, but he has no evidence that the child is his without a paternity test.
Do you have to pay child support if you didnt sign the birth form?
If paternity has been established the biological mother or person who has legal custody of the minor child can petition the court for child support from the father. The matter of not signing the birth certificate is irrelevant.
How can a mother get custody of her child when the father signed the birth certifcate but has not assumed responsibliity?
If he has abandoned the mother, talk to a lawyer. There may be a law in your state that after so many years of 'abandonment' custody is automatic. Get a lawyer and file for full custody if abandonment is not the issue.
Can the biological father have a custody of a baby he has from a married woman?
This is a complicated legal issue that you should consider before having an intimate relationship with a woman who has a legal husband. First, as an unmarried father, he has no assumed rights to any child born to a woman he's not married to, so the initial problem is in establishing a right to even see the child. Second, in many states, the husband has a presumption of fatherhood, unless the mother chooses otherwise. Generally, if the parents of a child are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. If the woman is already married to another man, this complicates the situation. 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 seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up child support for the child. This will be costly and take many months to accomplish. By this time, the courts may not consider changing the circumstance of the child's living arrangements.
What is paternity fraud?
Basically it is when a woman makes a false claim of the identity of the biological father of her child or children. There are a few states which have established laws pertainint to the issue, most states assume that any man named as the biological father will remain legally so until the claim is contested and paternity is determined by DNA or a traditional blood test. Such a charge is usually brought in civil court when a man contests paternity and seeks relief and restitution for monies already paid for child support or to be excluded from the legal responsibility of payment of support.
