The father can admit paternity under oath in court or in his pleadings, or he can sign an acknowledgement of paternity. Either way he can avoid the need for a DNA test. Normally the Department of Revenue would prefer an admission of paternity. If a DNA test is being ordered most likely the father wants to confirm he is the father before becoming obligated to pay child support.
