A man is suing his wife for divorce on the grounds of infidelity. Their first child and second child, whom they both claim, are blood groups O and AB respectively. The third child, whom the man disclaims, is blood type B. Can this information be used to support the man’s case? Why?

In order to have one child who is O (genotype: oo) and one child who is AB (genotype: AB), one parent must be heterozygous Type A (genotype: Ao) and the other parent must be heterozygous Type B (genotype: Bo).
They both must carry the "o" in order to have passed it on to their Type O child, and one must have an "A" while the other has a "B" to pass on to the Type AB child.
If the father is blood type B, his genotype is Bo, and yes, it's possible that the child is his - the child would have received the B from him and an o from the mother, giving the child a blood type of B (genotype: Bo).
If the mother is blood type B, then it's also possible the child is his. The child would receive the B from the mother and an o from him, giving the child a blood type of B (genotype: Bo).

A blood type can determine if he is or isn't the father. But if he's named as the father on the child's birth certificate, alot of states will see that as he is the father and he will still have to pay child support.

I think that it is impossible to have a child that is type O and to have a child of any other blood type with the same father. O is created by 2 type O parents. AB is created by a parent with type A (or AB) when the other parent has type B (or AB). B is created when either both parents have B (or AB) or one has O and the other has B (or AB). It looks like mom has O at the very least because she has a child with type O, but I am not sure that she could have a child with type AB at all. Very confusing.

A divorce based on blood, I think that would not hold in a court of law.

No. A man and woman can have all different blood types if one is A and the other B
A blood is represented by... Ai
B blood is represented by... Bi
So.. crossing the two makes...
..........A ..........i
B.......AB........Bi
i.........Ai..........ii
25% of their children will be AB (Type AB)
25% of their children will be Bi (Type B)
25% of ther children will be Ai (Type A)
AND 25% of their children will be ii (Type O)

depends on the state, for one.. too many variables....some states have only ONE reason for divorce "irreconcilable differences". and so there would be no issues there.
