I am not sure what the facts are. Is the child now 18 years old or is she now pregnant with what might be your child. Regardless, you can fight this to a point. First you must seek the services of an experienced family court attorney in your area. It is a presumption under the law that a child born during a marriage is the child of the husband and the husband is responsible for the child. Also if the child is truly 18 years old, the mother has been holding out the child as the husbands child and that might bar this action as well.
It is not a guarantee that you will prevail but it is the primary way.
Good luck.
