Possible, yes but not necessary. The usual procedure is for the custodial parent to file suit for child support in the court of jurisdiction where they reside with the minor child/children. If the support order is granted the judgment is filed against the non custodial parent in the city or county and state where he or she lives.

All U.S. states and commonwealths honor and enforce child support orders as long as the judgment order is mandated by a U.S. court.

How do you get out of child support order you proved that you were not the father?

That depends on the child support laws of your state and how long you have been the legal or presumed father. In most states if you have been the legal father for at least four years it does not matter if you are not the child's biological father. You will still be held to be the child's legal father and required to pay child support unless you can locate the child's biological father. You have to actually file a petition in court to end your responsibility for child support and you really will need a family law attorney to assist you. The attached link has a family law attorney directory. In most States you can file a Petition to Disestablish Paternity. You generally must be current on your child support payments to do so. With the DNA evidence you can get the child support abated if you are not the Father.
