What is the name of your state?

Yes, a judge can order a test. After the results, support will follow if the child is his. How old is the child and what state? If you are contesting paternity, the judge can make you pay for court admissible test. $400-$800. Please provide more info. Consult an attorney also.

That's "maybe". It depends upon state law and how much time has passed since the affidavit was executed. In some states, even if DNA disproves paternity, the court can deny a petition to revoke the affidavit based upon a finding that it's not in the child's best interest.
