Best Answer

Send the alleged father a letter via certified mail, return receipt requested, asking that he submit to a paternity test. If he refuses, you will have to file a paternity lawsuit, where the court will order him to take a paternity test. If you must file a lawsuit, you should see a family law attorney.
