I read in a Sci-fi story once of a 'at home DNA tester' that everyone had, just like a thermometer.
And it was for situations just like this...bring baby home, test DNA, proceed from there.
No, just make it another of the tests that is done in the hospital by law, and have the information appear on the birth certificate.
Don't hide it, or make it a private matter, that's part of the problem.
Put it out there in the open for all to see and remove another refuge for the unfaithfull wife.
And don't wait to long to test. - Tom

He is not the father, but must pay support Court: Limitations period ran out.
A Ramsey County man must continue paying child support for a 5 year old child even though paternity tests show that he is not the father, the Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled.
Eric Dembly Jr. and Ann Christine DeGrande signed a document when the child was born in August 1989 saying that he was the father, His child support was increased to $157 a month as his income rose.
In January 1993, Dembly requested a blood test because DeGrande had told him that he was not the child's father, court records say. The tests concluded that Dembly was not the father.
But in a 2-1 ruling to be filed today, the court said Dembly is still liable for child support because he did not take the blood test until after the three year statute of limitations had expired. The above is a hand-transcription of the first few paragraphs of this story which had an ASSOCIATED PRESS byline.
