Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

I have a 6 month old son and I keep asking the alleged father to take a DNA test but he refuses. I have already filed for a DNA test which he didnt show. So now I have to go to court which he already said hes not going to show up for. I dont want him court ordered the father, I want a DNA from him so i know its 100% his. What can I do to get the DNA from him?
