What are the Paternity Test Laws in California when Minors are the Parents?

My boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend gave birth to a child over a year ago when she was 16 and put no name on the birth certificate, establishing no apparent father.
She refuses however, to have a paternity test when any of the numerous potential fathers request one, including my boyfriend. I was wondering if there is any law that prevents her from denying a paternity test to a potential father seeing as how all potential fathers are minors as well.
Any information would help, Thanks in advance.

You would go about the process the same way as adults do, you get a court order.
However, anyone that would get a court order to get a DNA test that would establish him as the father and server as proof positive of his committing the crime of having sex with a minor is nuts. The age of consent in California is 18 and there is no close in age exception. The state has prosecuted those under the age of 18 as well when both parties were under the age of 18.
