The father of my unborn child is going to Iraq. If paternity isnt established and he dies, can I file for SS?

The father is in the Navy reserve and will be out of the service when he comes back. He refuses to support the baby until paternity is established. When he comes back the baby will be three months old. If he dies over there, is there a way for me to still establish paternity? Everyone in the military I know tells me that the military will not use the DNA samples that they keep for this purpose.

Put his name on the Birth Cert. That way if Dad dies in Iraq you will be able to get the benifits for your baby. Dont bother trying to take daddy dearest to court while he is away for military. The soldiers and sailors act prohibits any deployed servicemember from having legal action taken against them. Sorry to say, but your screwed on child support untill he comes back.
Another thought, he may have something put into his will about not letting your baby have any dependent rights untill paternity is established, so be prepaired for that also.
