Re: Child support
Usually it is at the time of the divorce that we specify whether the children are or are not related to the husband. If you are already divorced and still paying for children that are not yours, what happened?
Re: Child support
The answer depends on your particular situation. Whenever a child is born during a marriage, it is presumed that the husband is the father of that child. Under Minnesota law, a father presumed to be a parent by virtue of the child being born during the marriage, has two years to disclaim that paternity. If he does not do so, he will no longer be able to disclaim paternity and if custody is not awarded to that parent, he may be required to pay support.
