In a civil action in which paternity is a relevant fact and at issue, the Court shall order the mother, child and putative father to submit to genetic testing. If any party refuses to submit to such tests, the Court may resolve the question of paternity against such party or enforce its order if the rights of others and the interests of justice so require unless such individual is found to have good cause for refusing to cooperate.
