Dear David123,
thank you for sharing this question with the wefugees community.
I think I answered most of your question already in treat https://***.wefugees.de/807038/illegal-boyfriend-vaterschaft-notary-with-country-passport
You are free to take a DNA Test if the mother of the child agrees. There is no general necessity for a DNA test but if the authorities are in doubt regarding the biological paternity (biologische Vaterschaft) it might support your case. If the authorities (Notary, Jugendamt) request documents to verify your identity, a DNA test is of no use.
Prices for a DNA-Test (father, mother, child) are starting from 300 Euros.
