Courts do not order paternity tests just because a paternity and/or child support claim has been filed. The court has a duty to review the case documents to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant a paternity test. If the court decides so and the defendant refuses, it can be looked upon as contempt of court and lead to criminal charges, in addition to a default judgment in favor of the mother. |
