Paternity

My wife and I reside in Massachusetts. My wife delivered a third child last month. I was on a military duty for the past 11 months and was away from home. I am apprehensive of the paternity of the child and would like to conduct tests to prove paternity. What is the remedy available in Massachusetts in this regard?

My friend was in a relationship with a man for a short period. She conceived during that time and gave birth to a boy last month. All the expenses for her confinement were borne by her and her husband did not come forward to pay for her medical expenses. Is she entitled to any compensation from her husband for her medical expenses during pregnancy and confinement.

I live in Kentucky. I filed a petition for custody of my illegitimate 4-year-old daughter. My daughter’s mother was killed in an automobile accident. I filed the petition three weeks after her death. She and I were the only persons who knew that I am the father of her daughter. What can I do to prove my paternity and to have custody of my daughter?
