Re: to establish paternity
If the mother won't voluntarily agree to a paternity test, then your son will need to file an action with the Court to require that such a test be done. He will fare much better if he hires an attorney to assist him with this process. If the mother and children have lived in Georgia for some time, he will need to file there and not in SC.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
