Full term gestation of a fetus ranges from 38 to 42 weeks. Doctors primarily suggest 40 weeks in the EDD (estimated date of delivery), but a woman, especially first time mothers, can go into labor two weeks early or two weeks late of her EDD. However, if a woman appears that she will not go into labor after more than 42 weeks, or if the baby is already getting too large earlier than 40 weeks, the doctor will induce labor. That is the number they shoot for.
In any case, the best way to confirm paternity is a DNA test post-partum.
yes they can but they use DNA now
Edit: Yes and No, the blood test will tell you the type of blood of child and father but there is more than one person who can produce a child with type AB blood when matched to a mother who is type B, for example. At best a blood test can simply eliminate fathers, never 'prove' one.
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.
You can not tell paternity by blood type. You can rule out paternity by blood type. For example, if both parents are O negative and the baby is type A positive, you can rule out paternity. The only way to determine paternity is by a DNA test. A few of the baby's hairs and the father's hairs can be sent to a lab. The lab can determine paternity.
A paternity test can determine if there is a parent-child relationship between two people. A paternity test would give genetic proof of that relationship.
Yes
Paternity Test - 2010 was released on: USA: December 2010
Contained within the blood are the genetic DNA "markers". They can be multiplied by PCR in hours and compared against the baseline to determine paternity. DNA is used as it has greater stability than RNA, both can be derived and determined by viable blood cells to determine paternity.
The paternity test is the proof. The court will subpoena the other parent and ask them to submit to a paternity test, which will determine if they are the biological parent or not.

Are you requesting a paternity test to determine if you're the father, or chasing down a father? If you're the man, see link.
Yes, by a paternity test

Yes they do.
