    You could advise the court you have already taken the test so you don't have to take it again. You could also point out to the judge that you have made appearances each and every time the case has been calendared and the mother of your alleged child has been a no-show every time. You could request that she be held in contempt of court.   
    YOUR BEST BET WOULD BE TO CONTACT A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY OR LEGAL AID TO GET AN ANSWER THAT WOULD STAND UP IN COURT.  

    Take the test to determine if you are the childs father, if you are the father, you start paying child support,  simple as that.If you are not the childs father, you are off the hook.

    If you are the dad & you care, TAKE THE KID... Leagally..
