My partner and I have been together for 15 years and we're going through separation right. We had 2 children almost immediately after another, they're 13 and 12. We also have a 2 year old son.
By the time he was born things had been deteriorating for long. She suspected I was cheating and when I proved her I wasn't, we reconciled and well, she got pregnant.
However, I always had a doubt in the back of my mind about him, since we were separated for a while before we made peace. Of course I'm already attached to the little boy but I still feel like it's something I should clarify now.
Is this something you really want to know? If your suspicions are correct, how do you expect this to change your relationship with your son? And between your son and the rest of the family?

What would you say?
You need to sort out whether you have genuine grounds for suspicion, or whether your suspicion derives from a general dislike of your soon-to-be ex-partner. Demanding a paternity test is likely to cause major conflict between you and her, and your children may well get drawn into it.

Wrong, swab the child's cheek and send it off for testing. Nobody is the wiser.

Now see, that never would have occurred to me. My brain just doesn't work that way. :P
