Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

my girl is currently married and she was pregnant and had my child. How do i go about getting a paternity test done. I was told that i have no right because the child was conceived and birth while she was married. The judge denied my motion for paternity test. Do you know the cases that are similar to mine because I planning on appearing the judgement. This is important because I have only nine months to live. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I would appreciate any help that you can provide to me.
