Can my child's step-mother sue me for half of the costs of DNA testing if it comes back that her husband did not father my child?

Re: Being sued for DNA testing fees
The step mother has no standing to sue in the scenario that you relate. Certainly, if there is a paternity action pending, the court may require you to pay the costs of testing if the person tested turns out not to be the father.
