Yes! For the money he has paid.

If you knew he wasn't the father or that there was a very good chance that he wasn't, then yes he probably could get back whatever he paid. If he signed his name to the birth certificate, then there is a chance that some courts may say that he's the father regardless of what the DNA tests say. Some may say that since he signed he can't get the money back, but he won't have to pay any future child support.
In any case, let him have the DNA test. If you fight this, it makes you look like you have something to hide. It'll make you look worse if he were to take you to court over the unpaid child support. Think of it this way: it could come back & show that he IS the father of the baby just as easily as it could come back saying that he isn't.

This is why every guy that has some female saying I'm pregnant and you're the father should get a DNA test done. And for all the trouble guys get in for being dead beats He damn well should be able to sue and you should do jail time. God knows how many guys are paying child support for kids that aren't even theirs. Any female comes to me with a " I'm pregnant and it's yours" line better have the paperwork to back it up.

I believe he has 3 years in which to protest who is the father and beyond that regardless if he his the father or not he will be ordered to pay child support. These sorts of cases are all over the place and right or wrong this is the way the law is.
As far as suing I dont think he can, but check with a lawyer on that. they should give you some free over the phone advise in most cases.

That depends. More and more court cases are showing that even though the child may not be biologically his, if he has assumed the role of the father, he is still responsible for the financial well being of the child. So the answer is no.... he can't sue.

He can sue you, but he probably won't. He'll just get a Stop Support Order from the court and be glad he's not obligated to pay any more.

no legaly, he should've asked for it in a time frame of 2 months ofter the child was born. after that its too late and even if its going to suck he will have to take legal responsibility. why would you do that to the poor man?!

100% yes - for every penny he has paid when it comes to the care and support of the child as well as emotional trauma & distress if he so chooses.
