You have to pay support because a court ordered you to do so. What you need to do is file a Motion to dispute paternity and the amount of support. If you are successful you will no longer be responsible for future payments. You most likely will still owe what is currently due. Contact a local attorney for assistance in this matter. You should act right away or you could be paying until the last child turns 19. Good luck.
