CORRECTION: Second line should read justifiable legal reason rather than
justifiable legal "record".

No, you cannot compel your paternity suspect to submit to a paternity test
unless you have a justifiable legal record, such as a petition for child support pending in a court of proper jurisdiction. (Merely because you want to know if he's the father is not a
legally justifiable reason for a court to order such a test.)
