I know here in ohio they establish paternity first!
Here in Texas you have to wait till baby is born and they ask you in the hospital if you want a paternity test or not.
It may depend on where you live.
Oh ok im in baltimore md .. its prob the same here then.
In Cali they will let you start the process so it's ready to go when the baby is born but you do have to establish paternity first.
Here in Louisiana you have to establish paternity first
In texas you can file for cs before the bby is born things get started
