The way the law is in Louisiana now, it doesn't matter. The man who is married to a woman is the Father, even when he isn't. (We had a friend in NOLA who was separated, who knew who the kid's father probably was, but who got stuck by Louisiana law paying for the kid.) (After he died, his obituary read just a little bit differently, He is survived by his children, X and Y, and also by z.)

That’s not exactly true. The husband of the mother is legally presumed to the be the father of the child. If he is not, there are some legal hoops to jump through to disavow paternity.

Your friend is dumb and should have hired a lawyer.

I lived that. Ex-wife got pregnant by someone else while we were still married (legally separated). I had to sign adoption papers so he could adopt his biological child.
