IF you have DNA Proof that the Child is NOT yours (and it is certified through an approved lab), then you can take this information to BOTH the Child Support Enforcement Office (where I an sure that the ex filed) as well as a Family Attorney (IF you can afford one) to Petition the Court to Take YOUR name OFF the Birth Certificate and to DENY This Ex Child Support as well. It will definitely cost you money to do this ... but well worth it since (in the end) you would not be the one responsible for Child Support for the child (especially if you were deceived into thinking that you were the ONLY possible Father of the child, which is why you are now worried about child support).
Good Luck .. the First step is to PROVE that you are NOT the father through a Court/Legally Certified DNA Testing Source.

Is there a court order for you to pay child support? If there is no court order, then you are NOT obligated to pay anything at all. I would get a consultation with a lawyer, though. She might take you to court for child support and try to sue you for the back payments. Get some professional legal advice, even if it costs you $100. That's a lot better than waiting until the whole thing blows up.

sure, pay the help. In each fiber of that boy's being, you "are" his father. You signed the delivery certificates. Now guy up! you chosen to do what you probably did. That boy did no longer have any alternatives. Now show what you're extremely made up of and very own it. you're on the delivery certificates so which you have visitation rights and could call for them. To him you're his father and your daughter is his sister. Be there for them the two. If the two one in all you had observed a toddler mutually, might you have merely thrown your duties aside and walked away? thousands and thousands of guys improve, or have raised toddlers who're no longer genetically tied to them and that they have the capacity to do a solid job. there is plenty greater to being a father than merely sperm.

Yes you will have to pay untill you prove otherwise, so get a DNA test to affirm this. You only have a certain period of time, I think 2-3 years, before the issue becomes moot as the system assumes your taking responsibility if you dont say otherwise. So get a lawyer and get tested.

Yes, because your name is on the birth certificate; however, you need to consult an attorney in your area familiar with the laws of your area. Hope everything works for you.

this is an unsettled area of law - it is changing slowly, but the basic premise is yes, yo are the legal father. so see an attorney, and time is of the essence - the longer you wait, the more the court will presume you are ok with it.
google "fathers rights groups" to get more info ....

It depends. If you are married to the mother, generally yes.
See a lawyer.
