There is a process where the putative father can contest paternity. You state that the person was made the paternal parent in a child support case, but do not explain how that happened. You should take the child support order to an attorney in your area and explain that you wish to contest paternity. Note that a child born during a marriage is presumed to be a child OF the marriage.
One key question is how long ago was the default paternity order entered. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I have handled many paternity cases. If you are interested in visiting more about your case, please contact me directly.
