You cannot get your money back; however, you should immediately take steps to get the order terminated.
Answer
You cannot terminate the support in 20 states period, and in most of the other 30, you had just 24 months to learn you were not the father, so you're likely stuck. You could file for custody. Though you cannot use paternity to stop the support, she can use it to stop you getting custody in every state except PA. But, if she does, she forfeits her claim on you, allowing her to file a retroactive order on the bio dad. Unfortunately, you cannot recover your money through the system, though you could attempt a personal lawsuit. But, recently a Clay County (MO) judge ordered Welfare to refund a father everything he's paid, though I'm sure it will be appealed.

You haven't explained whose birth certificate. If it's her biological child then she must sign the birth certificate. The biological parents of the child sign the birth certificate.
No, child support can only be taken from the birth parents.
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.
Yes and he still have to pay whether he signs the birth certificate or not.
Yes, if/when paternity is established.
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.
Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
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.
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
The father can file for this change.
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.
