He files with the court to force a DNA test to establish paternity. If the grandmother files for CS the court will do this anyway. BTW, any money he gives her without going through court he can’t count off his taxes.

He does not need to have his name on the cerificate, but more then likely needs to take a paternity test. Then he needs to talk with a lawyer.

File for Custody. It’s as simple as that. From there, the judge will order a DNA test. He may need to hire a lawyer as custody cases can end up being a little complex.
