Would Baby-mama have to file a petition through the courts and then a sheriff comes to his house, forces a mouth swab for the paternity test?
My question would be: how does a woman get an unwilling person to pay up if they never had a test?

No, she just puts his name on the birth certificate and he's on the hook until he proves he ain't the dad, which can be tough as she doesn't have to let him test the kid, he ends up paying until a court orders the test, even then a court may order him to keep paying child support even if it isn't his kidb but the court decides that he has been paying support or acting as a father long enough that the child will unduely suffer if the support is withdrawn (and there is no other poor shmoe to hit up).
