Eh...not sure what this question is asking, but the bottom line is that child support will NOT stop until you have a court order.

You are liable for all arrearage until you get that taken care of.

Worse, the court doesn't HAVE to give you back money paid, so it's up to you to get this sorted out, not the FOC.

Re: Paternity Fraud

You need to have a family law/child custody lawyer file the appropriate paperwork with the court to get a judgment/order that states you are not the father and therefore not responsible for any child support. Get it done sooner than later.

Re: Paternity Fraud

Your attorney should file a motion and the judge will make the decision.
