I'm confused. He signed the Birth certificate and signed a child support order, but refused to take a paternity test? Do you have any doubts he is the father?

But yes, your daughter can refuse to submit to a paternity test, unless a court orders it. He can go to court and might be able to force a test.

If he acknowledged paternity by signing the birth certificate and has been paying support, what does he think he will gain now with a test.
