If a couple seperated 5 years ago but neither ever filed for divorce is the husband still liable for any children the wife has with another man?

Re: Separtion and Pregancy
Thank you for your inquiry. The law presumes that the husband is the father of any child born to the mother during marriage; however, with appropriate paternity documentation, the husband can be relieved of this presumption and the father can be held responsible.
