Yes, if you were married. The laws are very against men. If you were married, all the children were born when you were marrried, and she cheated you are still condisered there father and have to pay. I know it makes no sense. The laws date back to the 1800's and NEED TO BE CHANGED.

In many states (and it may be in all states for all I know) a married man can challenge paternity as long as he does it *during the divorce process*. If he doesn't do it then, once the divorce is granted, he's out of luck. Even if the children are later proven (via a DNA test) not to be his, he still has to support them. Laws vary from state to state, so speak with an attorney.

The laws regarding this type of situation are slowly changing, because there are entirely too many men being forced to pay child support for children they were 'tricked' into believe were theirs, while the actual biological fathers never have to pay a dime.

Can there be an upward modification of child support when non custodial parent loses visitation?

Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other. Parents must provide support for their children. There are many variations in visitation rights and those do not generally affect child support obligations.Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other.

No. Remarriage by a non custodial or custodial parent does not impact child support matters.
