Yes, a mother can refuse a DNA test to legitimize a child; however, this can complicate her ability to seek child support. Courts typically require paternity to be established, often through a DNA test, before ordering child support. If she refuses the test, it may lead to difficulties in enforcing child support claims. Ultimately, the legal outcome depends on jurisdiction and specific circumstances.
A "legitimate" child is one whose parents were married when s/he was born; therefore, a child support order cannot "legitimize" a child.
One way to legitimize a child is to take a paternity test or have the father sign a paternity acknowledgment form. If the mother married the father before the child is born this will also legitimize the child.
You can try, but the mother's new spouse isn't responsible for your child.
The parent is supposed to get the child support, not the minor child.

In Georgia, if you marry the mother of your child after the child is born, the child is automatically legitimized through the marriage. This means that the child has the same legal rights as if they were born to married parents from the outset. However, it is advisable to take formal steps to ensure all legal documentation reflects this status, especially if there are custody or support considerations.
No. If the father is not paying his child support she needs to file a motion for contempt with the court. She cannot withhold visitations on her own. Visitations and child support are two separate issues.
No. Child support, visitation, custody etc are all separate issues. The court will see to what is best for the child and one parent can not deny the parental rights of the other.
No, a mother cannot cancel child support on her own. Child support is a court-ordered financial obligation to support a child, and only a judge can modify or terminate a child support order.
Well not usually but it could happen
Child support is intended for the child's benefit, not the mother's.
It depends on the state you live in and the age of the child.
