Your question has a different answer in almost every state. I guess the best for you to do is check with the local laws governing paternity in your state. The most common law shared by all states is that if you are wanting child support, applying for AFDC or food stamps, you must name the father of your child(ren). If he disputes the claim, he will have to get a paternity test. It is as simple as opening his mouth and having a swab ran on the inside of his cheek. Again, check with your state for rules/laws. In court, trying to establish parental rights, custody, and again, in support issues, the judge will order the man to submit to a DNA test. It will be court ordered, so he will be "forced" or face penalty of contempt of court.

Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney.
