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
Have you considered asking him to mediate an agreement? Also offer to do a paternity test. One out of three men paying child support are learning they are not the father. I'm working with paternity testing companies to create commercials addressing this issue, so it would be best to get it out of the way up front so that there's no doubt. It can be done using a testing kit from a pharmacy or bought online. Clink on the link about mediation
This could be called "perjury." If you want to establish that you are the father, run, don't walk, to the appropriate court and request a determination of paternity, probably by genetic testing.
Yes: by signing an acknowledgment of paternity; by having been married to the mother of the child when the child was conceived or born; by failing to appear for an appointment with the child support agency, a court date or paternity test.
Paternity will have to be established by DNA test before the court makes you pay child support so I wonder how you began paying in the first place. You will have to prove you are not the father and then go back to the same court that issued the child support order.

The only was to prove this is with a court-ordered paternity test.
If the mother knew the man was not the biological father and still attested to that fact she could be charged with perjury, a very serious offense. If the man was paying support and found out he was not the biological father he would need to obtain proof of such through paternity testing (usually DNA). He would then need to file suit against the mother of the child and present the paternity evidence in order to recover his financial loss.
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.
In 20 states, once a man is paying child support, he cannot challenge paternity, but in the other 30 States, he has only 24 Months to learn he's not the father, and file a challenge against being obligated to pay child support. These restrictions are not equally applied to the mothers in a defense of a challenge for custody by the father.
You may have to file with the court once you realize you have completed the contract for paying child support.
