You can file suit and request child support , custody and that he submit to a paternity test. If he is served and fails to appear for the hearing, you can obtain a default judgment against him.

You would need to file a petition to determine paternity and for child support. The judge would order him to submit to DNA testing. If he fails or refuses to, then the judge would likely go by your testimony that he's the father.
