Sorry to say I predict he won't get very far in the case, if previous such matters are any indicator.
You are probably right about that since he would have to be dealing with the state laws of Florida pertaining to family law. The state still clings to the English Common Law concept of any child born in a marriage is considered the child of the husband regardless of how much the wife screwed around. This legal concept of course was adopted in an age (around 1066 AD) when DNA paternity testing was centuries in the future.
But even though he will not prevail he is not doing the expected, rolling over and stepping up to the plate and being a real man about it. He has to get credit and applause for that.

Hmmmm isn't this sex with his boss? Workplace relationships where the boss has the "power" in a relationship and takes advantage of a less powerful employee? If it were a female caddy and a male boss I bet we might hear about this angle. But since the caddy is the daddy he is not a victim I suppose.

"Workplace relationships where the boss has the "power" in a relationship and takes advantage of a less powerful employee?"
I just attended a workplace training put on by an attorney from personnel in December. Under sexual harassment law, the person who has the workplace power in the power differentiated relationship is seen to have an unfair advantage in the relationship. The person with the power, if male, can easily be construed to be the harasser according to S.H. law.
Anytime a man would try to use a claim of being the subordinate in a workplace power differential relationship, where he alleges sexual harassment, I suspect he would be less than effective, due to the institutionalized prejudice against all males that sees them as privileged by their inclusion in patriarchy.
Of course, sexual harassment law as Daphne Patai accurately points out is sexist and hateful against the dynamics of all heterosexual interactions/relationships.
I think a lot of street protesting is the only thing that would ever have a chance of breaking the evil, misandrist strangle-hold of militant feminism's grip on men's lives.

You're right. A few years back I worked for a global software company, as part of a small all-male team under a female boss. This involved numerous trips o/s - we were both married, by the way.
One day she took me and a colleague out for a meal at which we drank a lot. Afterwards she rang me in the hotel room and demanded to come in for a chat. In that chat she accused me firstly of wanting to have an affair with her. Then she accused me of constantly staring at her breasts, THEN of having a gay relationship with the other guy. Finally, she flat out asked me to do it with her. I dealt with it as best I could, said no thanks, and the next day she apologised.
Our work relationship sucked after that, and she quickly made it obvious my career with that company was sunk. A few months later I quit, and in the exit interview I spoke to HR and explained everything that had happened and asked them to take it further.
They declined - saying 'there's no way this would ever get anywhere'....

When I was conned into fatherhood I was told by an attorney that the law guarantees me only one thing – the obligation to provide child support if the mother wishes it. Nothing else was assured.
As far as challenging the mother’s custody of my child, he explained that there were 3 ways that could happen:
1. Voluntary change of custody by the mother
2. Death of the mother
3. A court declaration that the mother is unfit
This guy’s situation is a little different but the same legal mindset applies. If he’s a normal human he is going through hell. Unfortunately the worst is yet to come – reality will set in and he’ll grasp the fact that this psycho is the primary influence on his child’s life, and there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it.
