Can my ex-girlfriend file child support even though my name is not on the baby's birth certificate?

["A"]

3 ways you will be held liable for child support:

1) You were married when the baby was conceived - the legal assumption is that you are the father.
2) You signed the birth certificate - the legal assumption is that you are the father.
3) You agree to pay without a DNA test - the legal assumption is that you wouldn't volunteer to pay if you weren't the father.

If she files for child support, you have the right to a DNA test.

Check with your county . . . I believe you can file for a child support order. The county may be pleasantly surprised that a dad is looking to make sure he pays without being hunted down. It is the best way to go anyway, have the support on the books, so you aren't feeding her cash that she can deny she ever got, and without even knowing whether you are the dad. If there is a child support case, you have a right to a DNA test.

If there is no child support or custody case, you can't force her to take a DNA test.
