Re: Child Support
You will need to assert that she lied to you and that is why you signed the affidavit and then present evidence of the paternty test.
A word of caution, you should hire an attorney, failing to do so could be very costly if the court does assess you with child support.

Be there.
Better, hire an attorney immediately. If you do nothing, you can be saddled with support payments that will follow you for over 20 years. You could end up having to pay college tuition for the child. In short, you could pay tens of thousands of dollars for a child that is not yours.
