Normally you have until the child is two years old to dispute. If the child is over two years old you will be responsible financially. If the child is younger you could file a motion but you are going to run into several issues. You have held the child out as your own and the time period regarding a motion to set aside the paternity may have passed. You need to contact an attorney in your area who can be much more specific.
