Do you have to pay child support if you are not on the birth and have no paternity test?

DNA tests prove you are the parent, and can be taken when sued for child support after the marriage, but if you have not taken one, and there is no proof the child is yours, then no.
If the child's mother is your wife, the law presumes that you are the father.

∙ 14y agoTechnically no; but if the child is yours, a court (in the US) can order you to take a paternity test and force you to retroactively pay any support you manage to avoid in this fashion (up to and including garnering your wages and income tax refunds). Most states have fairly stringent 'deadbeat dad' laws. If the mother is at all interested in pursuing the matter through legal channels, you don't have much of a chance of evading it.

confusing
Do yo have to pay child support in Texas if there is no paternity test proving the child is yours?
In most states, if you were married to the mother of the child at the time of the birth of the child you are automatically assumed by the courts to be the father. Also, if you were unmarried at the time of the child's birth but the mother listed you as the father, you can be sued for child support unless you request a paternity test from the court.
Does a man have tp pay child support if blood test were taken or he never sighed the birth certificate?
If he can prove through a paternity test that he is not the father, he needs to petition the court to stop child support and can ask that prior child support be returned to him.
Do you have to pay child support if you didnt sign the birth form?
If paternity has been established the biological mother or person who has legal custody of the minor child can petition the court for child support from the father. The matter of not signing the birth certificate is irrelevant.
Can an unmarried father in Texas be ordered to pay back child support for the time period before the court ordered paternity test established his paternity?
Yes. First paternity must be established legally.If paternity is established through the court ordered DNA test the mother can request child support for the time during which no child support was paid by the father prior to the DNA test.
Can you sue your chid's father if his name is not on the birth cert?
Yes. Most courts now order a paternity test to establish paternity legally. Then visitation and child support order can be established.
IF YOU pay child support and sign birth certifacte does that estabilsh paternity?
By "sign the birth certificate" I assume you mean, signed a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. That establishes paternity. Paying child support does not establish paternity. But, if you're paying child support and later learn you're not the father, you cannot stop paying under any circumstances in 20 states, and had a two year limit to file in the other 30, even if the mother has married the biological father. Always get a paternity test before signing a birth certificate. see links
If you are on medicaid and you put your boyfriends name on the birth cirtificate will they make him pay child support?
Once a paternity test is done, as it should always be.
Your ex denies being the father and did not put his name on the birth certificate after the DNA test proves fatherhood does he pay back child support from the first day of birth?
P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????
Can your wages be garnished for child support if you didn't sign the birth certificate and never took a paternity test. Especially if the female was with more than one person when she got pregnant?
Yes. If a court has a reason to believe you are the father they can require child support. The fact that there was no paternity test probably hurts you, and the fact that you didn't sign a birth certificate doesn't matter at all.
Will the courts return the child to the mother while the presumed father gets DNA test and results?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.
