Get a lawyer. You can't do this on your own. It's much too complex. First, your husband IS the legal father, and it's not because of the birth certificate, it;s just because you're married and you had a child while you were married.
When you get a lawyer, the lawyer will file a petition for dissolution and a count for disestablishment of paternity (depending on your county). At the same time, the lawyer will file a paternity suit against the biological father. Otherwise, your husband will possibly get custody or visitation and pay support.
This has to be done right, so don't do it on your own.
