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.
