Re: dna paternaty test
Well, let the mother ask for the test which you could offer to pay for.(Any number of private testing firms could do it, but you would want to use a reputable one whose results would not likely ever be questioned.)
And, yes, the bloody shirt should have a sufficient sample for the test to determine paternity.
