Legal Question in Family Law in California
what can i do if my ex girlfriend does not want to tell me if shes pregnant by me or someone else? she tells me to wait until its born, and you can get a dna test, that shes not going to tell me anything.

If you suspect you are the father and you want visitation/custody rights to the child then you should file paperwork in court seeking a DNA test. If you are ok with waiting then you can wait until the child is born and ask her again to do an DNA test. You should act diligently so that your rights are preserved and not a lot of time is wasted on determining the paternity of the child.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
