It happens. You do have the right to file for termination of your child support obligation based on the fact that you are not the biological father, however if you have acted as the father for a specified period of time and the biological father has not been found, your obligation may be continued upon order of the court. The legal term is loco parentis and "sufficient time" to establish it is up to the court. If you signed the birth certificate, that also adds more glue to the seal.

∙ 12y agoThis assumes that you mean, "Do I have to pay child support for a child that is not mine ... ?" Paternity must be established before an order for support is entered. This is done by: genetic testing; presumption, where the parties were married when the child was born/conceived; acknowledgment of paternity either in writing or in open court; default, where the alleged father fails to cooperate in the process.

Every situation is different; contact an attorney to know your rights, responsibilities, and course of action.

If there is a Florida court decision for child support and the obligated parent moves out of state... Is the parent still obligated to pay child support once having left Florida?
Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.

When a child goes to college do you still have to pay child support in Florida?
In the state of Florida, child support can end when the child reaches the age of emancipation, which is 18 years old in Florida, unless the child support order indicates otherwise. You should check your child support order if there is a statement indicating when support payments end. Check with the Clerk of Courts in the county where the child support order was entered to get a copy of your support order. You can have your child support payments terminated by applying with the Florida DOR or by court order through the modification process.

In a child support case between Florida and New York which state governs the child support rate?
In my case, the amount of child support was determined by the state which filed the divorce/custody/support proceedings. My daughter lives with her father in New York, yet Florida has jurisdiction because that is where the original proceedings were filed. When she lived with me, Florida also dictated how much he was to pay me...even though he lived in NY.
