Has the woman actually filed a paternity action against the alleged father. If there is no action, he does not have to do anything. If your husband is sued in a paternity action, then he would want to oppose the action and request the DNA testing to see if the child is his biological child.

If a suit is filed then he may take the paternity test. If he refuses then it is presumed the child is his.

In Nebraska parents only have 4 years to bring paternity actions. However I the hold I receiving state benefits, the State can bring an action for child support and he could be ordered to cooperate with a test.
