    Yes, if she files for support.

    I will also point out that, depending on what state you are in, if that testing does not occur in a certain time frame, the legal presumption is that the husband is the father of the child. What this means to you is that, if you and your wife divorce later, she would be able to sue you for child support, even if the biodad comes back into the picture, because you would be the legal father.

    Did the husband sign the birth certificate?

    Paternity Proceedings can be filed by the alleged Father, Mother, Child, or Child Support Division of the State. Paternity testing can be ordered by the Court in most States. The Mother, Father and child can be ordered to submit to testing. Generally, testing is paid for by the Father if testing is positive, or the mother if testing is negative. The Parties may also agree to how the testing will be paid.
