My SSN is tied to someone else's

My social security number is tied to someone else's at a public aid office. I have $15,000 on my credit for child support to a child who isn't mine. It is not identity theft. This is the office's mistake. What kind of lawyer do I need to file againt the public aid office?? I'm lost!
