Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

child support and DNA

my husband has been paying child support through the courts in VA to a woman who had a child while he was dating her about 12 yrs ago....he is not sure the child is actually his....how does he go about getting a DNA test on the child when the mother and child live in Indiana.
