Will they test paternity? I signed the birth certificate , someone else said they may be the father. How do we get the test to determine who will pay child support

There will be a presumption that you are the father since you signed the birth certificate, but this can be overcome by a DNA test that shows that you are not the father. If the mother has filed for child support, you can request the court to conduct a DNA test, and it should happen fairly quickly.
