In order to legally challenge paternity, a civil suit must be filed in Family Court. If the judge orders a DNA test, the parties will need to pay a few hundred dollars to have the test performed and interpreted by a court-approved facility. In the event that paternity is confirmed, the father will then likely be ordered to pay child support and issues regarding custody and/or visitation will be addressed. If the father does not wish to maintain his parental rights, he can terminate them through the court.

How can you make your ex girlfriend have a DNA test to prove that her child is mine?

Can a father keep a child from a mother if there is no court order?
Neither parent should keep a child away from the other parent if there is no good reason. A good reason would be abuse, neglect, drug abuse, etc... If there are problems with custody and there are not court custody papers, there needs to be. Go to the court house and have the process started. Without these papers, either parent could keep the child (as long as the father is proven to be the father or his name is on the birth certificate) and it is not kidnapping. There is not court order preventing it. Also remember that the mother does not always automatically get full physical custody. The court looks at what is best for the child, not the parents.
Do you need all the father's personal information to file for child support?
The more information the better, but the minimum, I suppose, is either his employer or an address. States enact laws governing the procedures concerning child support issues. By all the information one might assume that means Social Security numbers and/or other identifying documents. Generally, such things are needed unless the identity of the father has been validated by paternity test or a legally signed certificate acknowledging paternity. If paternity has not been established in some manner that must be done before any action can be taken on the support petition (lawsuit).

In extreme cases, you yourself can petition the court to be heard, but the decision will still rest with the judge.
What is the process for initiating a for-cause challenge in a legal context?
