Additional persons to be tested. (a) Subject to subsection (b), if a genetic-testing specimen is not available from a man who may be the father of a child, for good cause and under circumstances the court considers to be just, the court may order the following individuals to submit specimens for genetic testing: (1) the parents of the man; (2) brothers and sisters of the man; (3) other children of the man and their mothers; and (4) other relatives of the man necessary to complete genetic testing.
