Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

My 1st wife produced a child...after we divorced I found out she cheated with multiple guys..the child looks nothing like me by the way......since the divorce she has put me on child support....I'm scheduled for a DNA test...in the result the child is not mine, am I still required to pay child support to her just cause my name is on the birth certificate??
