How do you stop child support if your not the father?

Paternity will have to be established by DNA test before the court makes you pay child support so I wonder how you began paying in the first place. You will have to prove you are not the father and then go back to the same court that issued the child support order.

In order to pay child support there would've been a DNA test taken to determine that you really are the father.

Not sure if you want to hurt him or not but it's the biological parents obligation to provide for their child regardless of how many they have. It's the child's right. And if you need benefits from the state they will go after him first. If he can not support another child he should not have gotten one or he needs to get a second job.


Do you have to let father see child if he does not pay child support?

Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues and parent are not required to pay to see their children. However, you have the right and responsibility to pursue the child support issue. Every non-custodial parent should pay toward the support of their children. The court has many resources for enforcing child support orders. First, you need to make certain you have obtained a child support order. If the father doesn't pay you need to file a motion for contempt of court and stay on top of it. Ask the court's assistance in collecting.
