No one can force another party directly to undertake a test. The only way to do so to get the test mandated by a court of law. And even then refusal is possible.

The person carrying out the test can only take a DNA sample if they have permission from either: the person being tested, if they're an adult. Someone with parental responsibility, if the person being tested is under 16.

Refusing would only look like I have something to hide

The decision to have a paternity test should not be ta***** *****ghtly and the father may have lots of questions. But to answer your question it is not illegal to ask for a paternity test if he is now not certain if he is the father.
