If you were not married when your boys were born, then paternity must be established before child support can be ordered. If you have not previously acknowledged paternity for purposes of establishing child support, custody, or obtaining state assistance for the children, then you can deny paternity and request genetic testing. Absent your acknowledgement of paternity, it must be proven (outside of wedlock), so the mother must comply because genetic testing will be ordered. An added incentive for mother to comply is that she will not receive child support from you, or benefits from the state for the children without cooperating with the process.
