Three years ago, McCarthy found out he was not the biological father of his then-15-year-old daughter.

That's sad and all that, but he shouldn't have waited 12 years to find out. After a certain amount of time, there's no way to undo whats been done. Now if he found out when the kid was only a few years old, then it makes sense to get out of paying, but by the time the kid was 12, too many bonds have been formed.

Oops I meant 15 years.

The point is that he had no reason to suspect his wife of being an adulteress.  Generally, people only take DNA tests when there are such suspicions.  Under current law, he is being required to pay for something that he is totally innocent of.  Therefore it should be his call.
