Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

I believe my husband fathered a child by another woman while we were married. Can I ask for paternity testing? What are my rights to know in this situation?

You may certainly request a paternity test, particularly as part of a divorce proceeding, but because a third party is involved, Courts will be highly reticent to order the third party do undergo their part of test. If you can persuade the other woman to pursue child support, a court will order a paternity test right away.
