(1) Alleging paternity and stating facts establishing a reasonable probability of the requisite sexual contact between the individuals; or
(2) Denying paternity and stating facts establishing a possibility that sexual contact between the individuals, if any, did not result in the conception of the child.
(b) A support-enforcement agency may order genetic testing only if there is no presumed, acknowledged, or adjudicated father.
(c) If a request for genetic testing of a child is made before birth, the court or support-enforcement agency may not order in-utero testing.
(d) If 2 or more men are subject to court-ordered genetic testing, the testing may be ordered concurrently or sequentially.
