Well, that depends... If you havn't contested within a year of the child's birth things get very difficult. Missouri Paternity Law is extremely weighted if you don't contest immediatly. There are cases where a separated couple, no contact between the couple in over a year, the woman becomes pregnant by a boyfriend, and the State of Missouri says the man is still considered the father.
This even when the woman testifies in court that the boyfriend, not the estranged husband, is the father, and after DNA testing.
For the past two years various forms of legislation have been attempted to correct these situations. But not enough political pressure has come to bear on the issue to get the Missouri Legislature to act.
If you do sue, demand DNA testing immediatly, have good legal counsel, and be prepared for a fight. There is a group attempting to push legislation for the 2009 Missouri Legislative Session and they have some more specific information at http://www.maketherealdadpay.org
