Re: i don't know if i can take this to court
You may affirmatively file an action for paternity if you meet the jurisdictional requirements such as an act of procreation (intercourse) performed in NJ. If she disputes that the child is yours you can have the court order DNA tests. The right to parenthood is a fundamental right guaranteed by the US Constitution under Stanley v. Illinois and other US Supreme Court decisions. It's up to you enforce these rights.
