You may have to wait for the law to change on this one. If you signed the acknowledgment and went through a support proceeding without challenging it, or asking for a paternity test you may be out of luck. You'll have to convince a judge to allow you to challenge the acknowledgment and you have to have very very strong evidence that there was fraud, that you were forced to sign, or that there was a mistake.
