My husband actually had this happen to him. He had a one night stand with a girl before we were married. He never saw this girl again, until she showed up with a baby one day and said it was his. In the mean time, when she found out she was pregnant she married another man whom she thought at the time was the father. DNA test proved that my husband was the father, and everyone moved on. Years later the mother and the presumed father were divorced and the mother wanted to seek child support arrearage from my husband. This is a strange position to be in. If a man's name is not listed as the father, and someone else is then he is legally the presumtive father. Once the DNA test is done though and someone else is proven to be the father, they are responsible for child support from the moment they find out they are the real father. The guy listed gets off the hook and the real dad has to shell out what he owes. Trust me, it's ugly and I have lived through the very same ordeal.

Can you still receive child support from the alleged father if another person's name is on the birth certificate?
No, the father on the birth certificate is financially responsible unless proven that he's not the father by DNA. About 12 years ago in the state of NJ The court ordered me to pay child support to the biological father (Dna test showed I was not the biological father) The court called me the psychological father so in the courts opinion I was her father. And like the biological Mother he also drank it away.

Too many people involved. Leave the birth certificate as it is. Let the biological father continue to pay child support. If the current man marries you and wishes to adopt the child, then that is another matter. Seek legal advice before doing anything to change the birth certificate. No. This would be fraud unless the child is adopted by your boyfriend.
