I have a restraining order against a person who may be the father of my newborns, but we are unsure and I need a paternity test.

However, I cannot take the children out as they are premature and the doctor advised not to leave until they weigh 5 pounds. I obtained the restraining order because this person has been harassing and threatening me. Although the restraining order is in place, he continues to text me. He is now suggesting a paternity test which he is willing to pay for. He knows a way for us to do the test at my house without him being present. I want to respond and do the test to resolve this issue, but I am concerned about potentially violating the restraining order and my safety due to his past behavior. How should I handle this situation? Should I respond to his offer? Will it affect the restraining order? Is there an app I can use for supervised communication regarding this matter? I want to proceed with the paternity test but in a way that does not jeopardize my safety or the legal order.
