A NJ court order has no effect on a pesron who lives in the Dominican Republic unless this person chooses to come back to NJ. I am also not clear why an adult would be seeking a paternity test, since it would not be for support purposes. But you don't mention if the father lives in DR permanently or is only there temporarily and plans to return to NJ.
