What does this mean? Is he the father or what?

Question

My boyfriend has had some trouble over the paternity of a child he was supposed to have concieved in a previous fling last year before he met me. He has doubts because the baby came 2months early and weighed nearly 7lbs on birth. The mother insists that the child is his but will not do a dna test to prove otherwise.
 
He is being slated for not being in the child's life etc when he feels he can't bond with the child, not knowing if its really his. Anyway, he has asked to meet with the mother and child to get dna samples to get the whole thing cleared up, but the mother keeps delaying and playing games so that it dosen't get resolved. Why does she do this? Surely if she was so sure that the child is his- she would make sure that it is confirmed? So why would she avoid the dna test?
 
Thanks

Generally the mother will gladly consent to paternity testing, sounds like she may have had a few more partners, and wants to choose which one will be the dad, rather than finding out for sure.

He can take her to court, there is no expectation of him taking care of the child if he is not the father, I would force the DNA test for piece of mind if I were him.  Also, is he listed as the father on the birth certificate?  If not, she likely has no claim against him.

doing this, the child's mother wants to impede your boyfriend to get a life... that's her aim: either your boyfriend acts like his father or he won't ever be able to get a life!
