even though you were not aware of the paternity of the child as the biological father you are required to provide child support from the time the child is born, and provide insurance and or compensation for part of the medical expenses and preparation expenses that the mother was charged because of the child, she has to provide proof of these expenses of course.
Individuals have statutory limits of less time. Florida is two years. Most states are 5 years. A few are 18 years. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement expressed opposition to this policy during his time of service. Many judges are now denying these requests.yes you can get sued for back child support. If the child is yours, you need to take responsibility until the child is 18.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
Yes. Up until that moment the child is yours along with the responsibilities.
If the child is biologically yours you cannot get out of child support. Why would you not want to take care of your child? And if the isn't yours i think u should still treat it like it was yours!!
If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.
If you have paid child support and it turns out the child is not yours you are entitled to sue for repayment of the money.
Yes and no. see links below
Ethically, if the child is yours then you pay support. The circumstances are irrelevant.
You can stop child support payments on the grounds that the child is not your biological child only if you did not know that when you agreed to the support, and if a Court approves your request to stop.

Get a DNA test. Then if it proves the child isn't yours you won't have to pay child support. You might even be a able to get back the money you have already paid in child support.
You might have to pay child support if you were married to the mother when the child was conceived/born, or if you signed an acknowledgment of paternity.
