Re: establishing paternity

File a paternity lawsuit. There are downloadable forms that you can use to do this on your own, but with something this important, you should stongly consider using a lawyer. When you file the lawsuit for paternity, you have the right to have a DNA test, though you'll probably have to pay for at least half of the cost of the test.
