Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Re: Child Support

Yes, I suggest you file a Motion to Modify Child Support, alleging that the changed circumstances are that you now have reason to believe you are not the father, and a Motion for Paternity testing. There are cases where fathers have been ordered to pay child support where they are definitely not the biological father. Usually, to be legal, that is based on some prior written agreement (like a separation agreement) where they agreed to pay support even though they knew that the child was not theirs. However, in your situation, you need to argue that you thought the child(ren) was yours when you consented to the child support order and only later found out that the mother has told people that you are not the father. I am assuming that you were never married to the mother. If you were, there is a presumption that you are the father in most states.
