Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

My husband has a 5y/o daugther who he recently found out may not be his. He is on the childs birth certificate and pays child support. I was just wondering how we could file for genetic testing without an attorney because we can not afford one. What motions need to be filed and in what order. We live in the start of Missouri.

If the child lives or stays with yrou husband he should be able to get a DNA test without a court order. Tell him to find a lab that he can afford to do the test. If the child is never wiht him, then he will have to file the contest of paternity with the court that that the child custdoy is in.

Good luck
