Once the child has reached majority, it's too late to establish a child support obligation. (There's a possible exception for a severely disabled child.)
That depends on the state.
The assumption here is that a husband, in the process of a divorce, has filed for custody and the mother is countering it by claiming that he is not the father. She can do this.
They are all adults now and leading their own lives minus their father.
Someone said two men could not father the same baby. Well take a look at this deficient paternity where each presumptive father was almost 100% proved to be the father. They both had sex with the woman and each is the father so I know it can happen. We live in a world where anything is possible just about.
If not ordered to, they are not required to, and all fathers should run Paternity tests on all their children. see link below
Well,she can do that, but it depends on the standards, like if the you knew the father, or if the child will ever see his/her father. something like that. I watch a lot of court shows and I also read a book about it.
Nothing happen's but the child will live with the tag of "father unknown" for the rest of their life. Paternity is presumed if the parents were married at the time of the child's birth. If the parents were not married, paternity can also be established by signing an acknowledgment of paternity or/and by genetic testing (DNA).
You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction. However, you should be aware that the court can order a paternity test to establish your paternity since you should be supporting the child.

His father was murdered
It's legal for mothers to take children in this manner. Only fathers get arrested for it.
It can happen based on the Mother's signed affidavit in California. However, you can demand for a DNA test that can clear you in Los Angeles County.In the case of unmarried parents generally no, in most jurisdictions. Generally, courts are the entities that issue declarations. Generally, a court will not issue a child support order without establishing paternity legally. If the court does not initiate a paternity test then the man who is purported to be the father can request it. However, he must respond to the summons in a timely manner and stay on top of the situation.A married man is always assumed to be the father of his wife's child unless he takes the necessary steps to deny paternity. He must do so in a timely manner or he may lose the right to deny the child.
She can not put down anyone as the father. Only the biological father can sign the birth certificate and if she lets her friend sign it it will be fraud. The father have to prove paternity in court by providing a DNA test or he will not have any parental rights. And what about the child? The child have the right to know who the real father is. And your friend will be asked for child support as soon as you ask for benefits. You are not a friend if you do this to the 17yo.
