I think you could argue against the Feds requiring a paternity test on privacy or state's rights, maybe some other grounds.
But what it should be anyway is a requirement to get child support.
It's functionally the same thing because if they're married the father can just have the test done, or if he has custody (lol), or if the divorced mother with custody refuses then it's not his.
If they put a clause in that the father and he alone could waive his right to the test, I think that could sweep away the privacy/right's issue. Or even just "the man being put on the birth certificate" if father was too charged a word, so that way a woman can't just scribble a random guy's name in without proof.
Or, as you say, make it a requirement for any and all government intervention in the family.
Their only argument against it is literally:
Which any grown adult knows is the exact line that someone cheating or lying uses immediately.
