Anyone can name a person to be the father of their baby. The burden of proof is on the father to prove he is not. Even if your husband was in prision for eight and a half years that would not explain why she never let him know before he went in. Wouldn't the child be 16 now. your husband has the legal right to request a parterinity test they start at 150.00 and up. He may want to see if he can get help from free legal services. They go by incom although they do not take all cases. He might also want to try and get in touch with the childs mother and see if he can meet the child.If he feels at that time he still wants the test then he should pursue it. He will have to pay child support until the parterinity of the child is established.
