    If you can get a court to order it. But that may be a stretch. Unless there is a health issue, I doubt if a court will go along.

    You have to have a legal reason to request it, just "wanting to know" is not enough.

    But from a legal standpoint, he is your father, the man listed on the birth certificate is the father and in most places an not be challenged after a number of years.

    Why do you suspect he is not ?
