1. one way to determine paternity in utero is by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling [with slight risk of miscarriage] or one can wait till delivery where the infant's cheek is swabbed and compared with DNA samples from the mother and alleged father.
2. If for some reason(s) the father is unavailable for testing, then the paternal family members DNA along with the child and the child’s biological mothers’ can help to determine paternity.
