Once there was a court order saying you were the father and ordering support, you are the father and second thoughts now won't change anything. Should have asked for testing back then. Sorry.

I agree with Ms. Bushman, but if there is no court order, only an Acknowledgement of Paternity, you should hire a lawyer and see about getting it rescinded.
