You cannot aviod appearing when cases are filed. You have to appoint advocate and fight out the cases. In these cases you can demand DNA test of child.

Section 498a apply to married couple, if she is not your wife the charge u/s 498a IPC fail however charges u/s 406,323,341 IPC still can be made against you. Section 125 CrPC can also be defended on the ground that she's not your wife nor the child your legitimate child, however the court will decide these issues on the basis of evidence. For proving the marriage, she require evidence of marriage ceremonies but for legitimacy of the child the DNA test can be sought to be conducted on the order of the court.
