Can a lawsuit be filed against a parent who changes there child's name without the consent of the other parent?
Depends on who made the change. If the parents are not married to each other the decision what last name the child will have belongs to the mother and she will not need the consent of the father.
Can you bring a lawsuit against the mother for past child support you paid if you find out the child is not yours in Ohio?
Plain logic would seem to indicate that the person could recover funds that were paid. That is not always the case, if a child support was ordered through the court on the premise that the man was the father, he will have to file a petition under Ohio's disestablishment statute. If the petition is found valid, he would be declared not to be the parent of the child, and could then file a lawsuit against the mother (maybe). There are several deciding factors in obtaining such a declaration, a few are, if the man voluntarily acknowledged paternity, how long the relationship lasted, if the man established a parent-child relationship and so forth.

You have been paying child support for a child that is not yours. Can you sue the real father of the child?
No. The biological father may not have known he was the father. Also, he did not file a petition for child support against you- the child's mother did. If you had any doubts you were the father, and if the child's mother was sexually active with other men at the time of conception, you could have requested a paternity test at the onset. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws.
