Hi Guys! You really helped me and thanks a lot. I contact the USA Consulate here in Sydney and they told me to do the DNA test. I live in Australia and I had a child and she is living with her mom in the USA and the child was born not in the USA and the mother forge a birth certificate. But I do not want to live in the USA just to get the paternity establish to support my daughter and to pay child support.

If the child is in Washington, you need to file a parentage action in the county in which the child resides. You will have to pay for the lawyer as there are no free lawyers for these purposes. In the parentage action, you will then ask the court to order a DNA test. I don't know how this will be coordinated between two continents, but I'm sure there is a way. In any case, you may not need to do this if both parents agree you are the father.
