Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

establishing paternity for custody

In NJ, does anyone know if the birthfather is not on the birth certificate (nor is he a legal spouse), if he asks the court to establish paternity, does the judge send him to a special lab, and is there a time limit the judge places to take the paternity test?

Thanks!
