He can request paternity tests to determine if he is the father. The court will usually postpone court hearing when it is shown that an illness exists justifying the delay, which would include proof from the doctor. Only your son or his attorney can do this; you can not do it for him.

I agree with Jay and also suggest that you hire local counsel.
