If you thought the baby was yours at the time but later found out that it is not, then I suppose you can file a case to have a court order reverse it.
It should be simple to actually prove this in court with a DNA sample from you and a DNA sample from the child.
I don't even think the court have to be involved if the mother writes a paper stating that you are not the father, although you still need to provide some DNA proof.
The court must most likely be involved if mother does not want this to happen, but I do think she will have to cover your costs with lawyer and courtfees to make this happen if you are proven not to be the biological father.
This from the Texas Department Of Health services.
The application to add or change the father's name must be signed by both parents in the presence of a notary public. When paternity is established by a court decree, only one parent must sign the application in the presence of a notary public.
If the change you are wanting to make involves removing the father's information or removing one man's information and adding the information of another man, the supporting documentation must be a certified copy of a court order saying that the man listed on the birth certificate is not the biological father or that the man to be added to the birth certificate is the biological father. In some cases, a properly filled out and signed, first-time-ever Acknowledgement of Paternity can be submitted if ths "denial" portion has been filled out.

If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
Will the father of a new baby have to pay child support if he signs the birth certificate?
Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.
Would your child's father who is not on the birth certificate have pay child support if he is in CA?
Yes, if/when paternity is established.
In the state of Mississippi can someone be made to pay child support on a child who is not really theirs even if they signed the birth certificate?
The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father until/unless a court rules otherwise, and can be made to pay support.
Can you get the father of your child for child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
Can you be put on child surpport if you did not sign birth certicate?
Not signing a birth certificate does not remove one's responsibility. If you are not the bio parent of the child, attempt to arrange for testing that will be evidence of that. Otherwise, you are the parent of a child.
Can you get child support if the father's name is not on the birth certificate?
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
Does the father's name have to be on the birth certificate for the mother to collect child support?
The father can file for this change.
What if a father pays child support and the child is not his?
If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states. If he did not sign the birth certificate it is unusual that he is paying child support. If he failed to request a DNA test at the appropriate time, again, he may have to keep paying. He needs to consult with an attorney who specializes in child support issues in his jurisdiction, who can review all the details of the situation and explain his options.If the man signed the birth certificate knowing he was not the father he may be held responsible for providing child support until the child is eighteen in many states.
