If the test proves it's not his kid, does he still have to pay for the test?

Yes, because it's already paid for. But he could in theory sue her for harassment and slander or something and try to get his money back that way. Probably wouldn't work.

Technically it's actually the dissenting party who has to pay--if a guy is insisting that a pregnant woman's baby is his in order to get visitation rights, and she is denying it, SHE'D have to pay for the test. But 99.9% of the time it's the woman pointing the finger at the guy.
