You can file in court to establish paternity. The court will order a DNA test, to be done in controlled circumstances.

You can do this by filing pro-se, which is not a good idea. Or, you can hire an attorney, which can be expensive, or you can contact your state's CS enforcement agency and file for paternity and CS through them.
