Re: father on birthcert.
Are you paying child support through DOR? If so, somewhere you were either acknowledged as the father or paternity was established somehow.
Are you listed on the putative father registry?
There are a couple of key questions you need to look into. Call a local family law attorney for a free consult. Then you can decide the way to proceed.

File a petition for modification of the child support order on the basis that you no longer know if this is in fact your child and you want a paternity test.
