The genetic (biological) father is not always the same as the legal father. I assume that the law in New South Wales contains a presumption that the husband is the legal father of any child born during marriage.
In most (if not all) states in the United States, the only people who have standing to rebut that presumption are the wife/mother and husband/legal father . . . and there is usually a statute of limitations. (E.g., if an action to rebut the presumption is not brought within x years from the time of the child's birth, the action is barred forever.)
What is the statute of limitations where you live?
