The putative father can get a DNA test, but not just "anyone" is entitled to ask for such a test. However, the putative father must file a proceeding in the court petitioning to establish paternity. If you then admit he is the father, the court will establish paternity. If you deny he is the father, then the court can order a paternity test to determine if he is, in fact, the biological father. He can then establish his parental rights and, in so doing, the court will also establish child support.
I hope this helds.
