I just found out by a court order DNA test that i have a daughter a few months ago. Since i found out, i have been ordered to pay Child Support, and i have been paying, on time, each month. But yesterday, i got a bill in the mail for more than $8,000 in back child support, and it says if i dont pay it in 30 days, then it will go on my credit and taken out of my income taxes.
I though you only owed 'back' child support if you KNEW you had a child and refused to pay. How can i owe this money for the past if i just found out a few months ago? I also found out that the mother of the child put my name on the birth certificate when the baby was born, without me even knowing, and then went and filied for child support. She has been receiving child support since the day the baby was born, and i am now just finding out (almost 3 years later). I am being charged for the last 3 years in child support, but i just got the DNA test and started paying a few months ago.
