Disestablishing Paternity: Affidavit Denying Paternity

My question involves paternity law for the State of: New Jersey


SYNOPSIS:
Eight weeks ago, I arrived home to a State Officer from the Department of Human
Services at my front door. He asked if I was “John Doe” and if I lived here. I told him I was. He told me to contact the case manager at the Department of Children and Families for further information.

Upon speaking with the case manager at DCF, I was asked if I knew “Jane Doe.”
I replied, I do not know her. She then asked if I would provide a blood sample, to which I replied, absolutely not! (I think she was implying a DNA test).

This week I received a letter from the case manager requesting I complete an Affidavit Denying Paternity. The affidavit specifically states: (1) I decline to participate in any paternity testing; and (2) I deny knowing or having any relations with “Jane Doe” that would have resulted in the birth of her child. Upon receipt of this affidavit, DCF will remove my name from all documents concerning this matter.


What are the implications if I return the affidavit?

What are the implications if I do not return the affidavit?
