(b) A proceeding seeking to disprove the father-child relationship between a child and the child's presumed father may be maintained at any time if the Court determines that: (1) a. The presumed father and the mother of the child neither cohabited nor engaged in sexual intercourse with each other during the probable time of conception; and b. The presumed father never openly held out the child as his own; or (2) The presumed father did not commence an action within the limitation period in reliance on the mother's failure to disclose the possibility of any other alleged fathers.
