If a man was tricked into signing divorce papers and it resulted in his having to pay child support for a child that is not his is he still responsible once he learns he is not the father?

First, you're probably an adult, so no one "tricked" you into anything. Your choices are your choices and you're responsible for them. Secondly, you shouldn't have to pay child support for a child that isn't yours, but you'll need to approach the court with proof, such as an admission form the baby's father or a paternity test that validates your claim.
