There is a statute that provides relief for you. You will need to file a Petition in Court, and obtain a Court Order determining you not to be the father and transferring custody. I have handled such cases, and you may contact me directly for a free telephone consultation.

I need more facts to give informed advice. If there is a court order in place determining that you are the father, it may be conclusive on the matter.
