Now maybe the Schmidt comment about paternity testing makes sense
He may have been anticipating that reports of Palin having an affair were likely to come out. Otherwise it made no sense why he was objecting to the idea of paternity testing. They may have figured that if the Enquirer found out about her daughter's pregnancy and the family disputes about it that they were going to hear about the rumors of her having an affair. And that questions might arise about who's the father.... If it's correct that Todd Palin's former business partner who was the alleged co-participant in the affair has asked for an emergency order to seal his divorce papers, that certainly tends to support the idea that they did have an affair.... http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/5/123217/9370/955/587898
I also think she conned and snookered McCain completely. Maybe seduced him somewhat. How else to explain his unbelievably inept choice and process.

I don't know what all that stuff about DNA testing was. Seems more probable that they brought it up because they knew it would exonerate Palin and thus insulate her from further personal attacks.
From what I'm reading, perhaps the real reason to seal those divorce records was MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. Seems like the Palins and the Richters have been close friends for a long time, owning property together and running businesses together. The Richters marriage fell apart. At some point the ex-Mrs. Richter began to date a guy by the name of Bitney who had (confusingly enough) been working for Governor Palin. For reasons that are not yet clear, this really upset The First Dude, so they got Bitney fired (what is with this fuckupta family and their vendettas and getting folks fired). Anyway, I think those are some of the issues in the divorce that they were seeking to hide because it confirms that, once again, the Palins are big believers in using political power and the abuse of that power to pursue their personal agendas.
