Can paternity be established if the alleged father is in another state, is incarcerated, or does not appear for testing?
Yes, paternity can be established in these situations. The agency can make arrangements for the alleged father to be tested out of state or at the location where he is incarcerated. If the alleged father fails to appear for testing, the agency will initiate the appropriate court action for paternity.
