Legitimated Children - Action to Impugn Legitimacy

Albert and Maria were married in 2010 and had a son named John. In 2015, Albert died due to a medical condition. Maria then met and started a relationship with Carlos. They eventually got married in 2017. Carlos fully embraced his role as John's stepfather and provided for his needs.

However, after several years, rumors started circulating that John may not be Albert's biological child. This caused tension and strain within the family. Carlos, out of concern for his rights and for the well-being of John, wants to know if he can legally challenge John's legitimacy.

Based on the provisions of the Family Code, particularly on the topic of Action to Impugn Legitimacy, discuss Carlos' rights and options in challenging John's legitimacy. Consider the relevant articles from the Family Code, specifically Article 182.
