She can get away with it until you go to court and file a motion for a court ordered paternity test. If the test disproves your paternity, you can file a motion to cease child support based on that.

What if mother doesnt want DNA test because she knows he is the father can he still be put on child support?
Paternity must be established before support is established. Paternity may be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity in open court.
If the father's name is not listed on the birth certificate but the child has his last name what are the rights of the father?
Yes, if he can establish his paternity legally through a DNA test. Once his paternity is established he can petition for visitation or custody and if the mother retains custody she can request a child support order. A father's parental rights do not depend on the name of the child only on the biological relationship.

What if a father pays child support and the child is not his can he get the money back?
No - when the support order was enter the father was deemed as "the father". If subsequent tests prove otherwise you still need to go to court to nullify the support order and place paternity where it belongs. You may have to continue paying support until the real father is proven.This is also highly variable by state. If the father can prove paternity fraud, then it may be possible to recover some funds. However, in most states, the time to contest paternity is only available at the initial child support hearing - once that court has determined paternity, then while a subsequent court may modify the paternity payments (including ordering them stopped if paternity is disproved), no payments may be refunded.While this may seem hideously unfair to the father, the goal for the Family Court is not fairness to the parents, it is promotion of the child's welfare, and, in this case, it is more in the child's interest that *someone* pays child support, and thus, refunding child support payments damages the child more than the father. It's harsh, but that's the viewpoint of the courts.

Can a judge order you to pay child support without the mother proving the child is mine?

Do you have to pay child support if the mother has put father unknown on the birth certificate and denied the father to the ssa office and 11 years later rings them and tells them who the father is?
First, don't pay anything until paternity is established. If the child is still a minor, you will most likely have to pay current (ongoing) support. However, based on the facts you describe, you have a good argument that you should not have to pay retroactive support.
Do you have to pay back child support to child when paternity was proven after 18?
No and you pay the support to the parent not the kid. If the child is 18 there is no longer a need for child support. If someone has been paying for you and believed they were the father they can sue you for the money though.
If there is a question of paternity how does that effect the child support?
