You are missing the point. I agree that DNA testing didn't exist, but the OP didn't say they took a DNA test, only a paternity test. And forensic paternity tests DID exist in the mid an early parts of the 20th Century.

Again, my guess is that the OP's husband took a DNA test (at home); you don't know, and I don't know. So show where and when forensic paternity tests were admissible in court in the early and mid parts of the 20th Century. The existence of a test does not mean that its results can be admitted into evidence.

Furthermore: "And in a sign of the further complications genetic testing may have unleashed, the New Jersey Supreme Court is debating whether a nonbiological father can sue the biological one for $110,000 in child-support reimbursement. The plaintiff in the case didn't learn the truth about the son he had believed to be his own until the kid was 30." Duped Dads Fight Back - TIME
