If the test is ordered through the courts, you can actually go to jail for refusing to establish paternity. So, no.

If court ordered can you refuse to take a paternity test if you were not informed of your right to refuse one?

The paternity test is done on both the father AND the child. Most, if not all, jurisdictions require a paternity test before awarding monthly child support payments. If that is the case where you live then you won't have a choice as it is usually done under court order. Your only option would be to never file for child support.

After the baby is born the father can go to court and request a paternity test. If the test confirms the father's paternity he can request custody and a visitation order and the court will establish a child support order. The mother cannot refuse to obey the court orders that establish the father's rights. If she does, she could eventually lose custody.
