What if after 15 years, your child's mother tell you that you are not the father,?

Happens all the time... In order for child support to collect you should have previously had a judgment of paternity entered naming you as father. If you were married when the child was concieved and born... there are presumptions that can conclusively make you the father even though you are not (even if a DNA test states otherwise).

When the Judgment was entered for you to pay support you had every right to seek a paternity test... you must have waived it.

Sooooooo you need to file a motion to set aside the child support order and to set aside the judgment of paternity based upon fraud. Then ask for a DNA test. You may have missed the statute on this one though.

As far as recouping any money if it turn out you are not the father you will have to file in civil court for fraud not in child support court.

You can't do this one by yourself.... you must have an attorney.

That's crappy, as a single mother. with that being said, you have to first and foremost, find the ACTUAL father!! I'm guessing your name is on the birth certificate. Since you didn't question that and you have willingly been paying child support, you have accepted paternity. Unfortunately, you cannot just go in and take your name off of the birth certificate. The federal government will not bastardize a child. So, you must find the biological father and then DNA tests for all will be the next step. However, my best suggestion is to NOT ask the advice of these here on a chat line....contact a family attorney and find out what needs to be done and what are your next steps. Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about what she has done to you.....That puts a bad name on those mothers who are honest and forthright.

How is the county doing something illegal? They are exercising a child support action that is supported by a fraudulent claim. Time to get an atty, disavow paternity and file charges

You may be able to sue her for fraud depending on this circumstance...Is your name listed as the father of the child on the birth certificate? If it is, most states will consider that an acknowledgment of paternity. The FIRST thing you need to do is contact a lawyer then ask for a DNA test. Good luck.

first let me say as a woman, I am sorry. thats just a shitty thing to do. second, unfortunatley i have heard of men raising kids that they then find out are not theirs, and the courts still make them pay since they put themselves out there for yrs as the parent. if it was me, i would talk to a lawyer and see what he says. again...she put a bad name to all women and i am sorry she did that to you!!

if she intentionally did that then you can sue her for fraud and try to get the money back. try doing it faster than the DA so before she goes to jail for fraud you can get some money back if not all.

Get an attorney

You need a lawyer.
