Best Answer

Only a court can order a paternity test. The individual must petition the court first. The court will order the test, which is done under very specific conditions to assure that the right individuals are tested. The mother of a child has no obligation to subject a child to any testing simply based on the request of another person. When the court orders the test, the mother must then comply.

The only paternity test a mother must submit the child for is one ordered by a judge. A court-ordered paternity test must be done under specific conditions to assure that the swabs are indeed from the individuals in question and that the results are processed by a lab certified by the courts. The father must petition the court for the test. There will be a hearing and the mother (or guardian) of the child will be instructed of the court order and told how to proceed.
