This depends on where you live. Some states in the U.S. have strict laws regarding adultery as illegal; if you were married when the child was conceived, you may be able to sue if you later find out that you are not the biological father.
There are only three U.S. states that still have existing laws that relate to such issues and those states rarely address the actual act of adultery. They generally apply laws that relate to civil redress for injured parties rather than those relating to adultery.
In general the only way such a suit would be viable is if the ex-spouse could prove he had been harmed either financially and/or his character had been damaged to the extent that it created difficulties in his career and/or personal life. For example if the ex-spouse had been paying support for a child that was not his biologically. Even so, the courts often rule in favor of the mother in the assumption that she did not know the child in question was fathered by a male other than her husband.

How does not having your biological father in your life effect a person?
For some young people not having a biological father or even a biological mother in their lives may not bother them and if their grandparents or adopted family have been good to them then that is all the person needs, but some young people need to go back in their life and find their biological father for answers to their questions because they have a sense of loss and hurt as to why their father would not want to be part of their life. A good movie to watch about a similar situation is 'Antwone Fisher' with Denzel Washington starring in it.
