Since the children were born of a marriage, he is presumed to be the father and so is the legal father and thus the current orders for custody, child support and visitation.

In Arkansas, he can challenge paternity at any time, just because a doctor says he cannot have children today doesn't mean that he couldn't in the past. No one can say with certanity how a judge will rule in advance if there is a challenge to paternity. For that reason, he may want to consider options and not forget that it is the best interest of the children, not ongoing disharmony between the parents. I would suggest that before he takes any action to consult with an attorney, and consider getting a private DNA test during a time he has the children, so that he knows just where he stands and whether to challenge paternity this could mean an addiltional test but possibly less expensive in the future depending on the results. Once he knows paternity, he and the attorney can discuss the options.
