There is no 'score' on a paternity test. the man is either NOT the father or he could be.
It depends on how you answered the paternity suit. If you are not the parent and it is proved that you are not the father, nothing more needs done. If you are the parent, many more court dates could come to determine custody and child support.
After the baby is born the father can go to court and request a paternity test. If the test confirms the father's paternity he can request custody and a visitation order and the court will establish a child support order. The mother cannot refuse to obey the court orders that establish the father's rights. If she does, she could eventually lose custody.
A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father. He must show up at the hearing prepared to deny that he is the father. If he doesn't show up and contest the charge then a child support order will be issued. If he is determined to be the father (even by default) then he is obligated to support his child and that includes back child support that can be assessed according to state laws that vary from state to state. If he didn't request a DNA test then he should consult with an attorney now to determine if he has any options.A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity.At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father.

He could not even if he was tricked. Paternity Fraud is a crime that does pay. see links
No he is then the father of the child but in order to get rights he has to go to court and prove paternity first in order to get visitation, custody and pay child support. If married to the mother when the child is born, he is automatically considered the father and have rights.
you could have a paternity test. Answer Testing using DNA from the father's father.
you could petition the court to try and get your money i went to curt today with a friend and the judge toldhim to petition the court .
It depends on the state. I know it Tx once paternity is established that the father has the right to request visitation through the courts. The judge will take into account that they have never met. Mostly likely, If the father does not present a threat to the child he will be granted some sort of visitation. If visitation is denied by the mother she could face criminal charges. By filing child support you are establishing paternity and giving the child's father all the rights as an unwed father.
If paternity has been legally established, the father could petition for custody/ guardianship.
If the mother knew the man was not the biological father and still attested to that fact she could be charged with perjury, a very serious offense. If the man was paying support and found out he was not the biological father he would need to obtain proof of such through paternity testing (usually DNA). He would then need to file suit against the mother of the child and present the paternity evidence in order to recover his financial loss.
If the child is not yet of age/emancipated, child support could be ordered once paternity is established.
