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.
