A: Get a judge to Order DNA. You should hire a lawyer to represent you in the case.
A: While it is wonderful that you have made huge progress in this case on your own, it may be time to hire an attorney who has experience in this area. You should motion to court and request a DNA test. If the court orders the DNA test the mother of the child will be ordered by the court to submit the child for DNA testing.
