Legal Question in Family Law in California

child support backpay request

Does one have any legal standing to fight a request for backpay of childsupport if a request for the support was never received until now? I just received an order for childsupport & am told that I need to pay $6000 for 2 years of back pay. I have been with the same company for 8 years, no wages garnished, no knowledge of child. If I am the father, I will pay the monthly support, but I find it unfair that I am expected to come up w/ such a large sum of money now when I was never given the chance to make the monthly payments.
