Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My ex girlfriend put me on child support after we went our separate ways. At the court house the judge ask if I wanted a paternity test and I said no, because I did not have any doubts. Couple of years after her mother mention something to me about doing paternity test for the children, she had her reason and did not disclose it to me. I then went to the court and ask the judge if I can have the paternity test done because I have some doubts. The judge turn down my request because he said I sign a paper before stating I did not want a paternity test done. Couple of days ago I had the test done privately to find out. It happens that they are not my children ( One child has my last name the other does not). How do I approach the court to review my case and have them request test from the mother to get me off child support?

You will need to file for disestablishment of paternity. An attorney can assist with this.
There is nothing you can do now. You get one chance to take the test, and you declined. Your next step is to get timeshare (if you don't have it already). Maybe if you demand your timeshare and get a lot of it (like three or four days a week), the mother may panic and ask agree legally that you are not the father.
You have to file a petition to dis-establish paternity with the court, asap so the court can enter the order.
