this is complicated. if DNA tests show you are the father, then you are. I think you should talk this over with a lawyer, because her husband is still married to her. There are other issues that will arise too. And there is the presumption in the law that all children born to her while married are the children of her husband.

I can explain things in much better detail if you come see me. I will meet with you for free for half an hour, and go over your situation.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

Generally, there is a presumption in New Jersey that the man married to a woman at the time of her child's birth is the father.
