If you were an active partner in the home when the child was adopted then of course you need to pay child support. Stop looking for loop holes. Your signature on an adoption is just as much a lifetime commitment to care for that child as is the act of procreating with your wife. Be a man and pay up. It is after all CHILD SUPPORT. They need you.

The biological father is the legal father. The husband is not the father unless he decides he wants to claim that title and wants to raise this child. Slim to none on that one. More likely you are going to be a single parent, so go after the bio dad for child support. He owes his child that.


If you are not the father after signning the birth certificate do you have to continue to pay child support?

This question is a complicated one in that the laws of paternity do not necessarily establish the biological father as the father for child support purposes but rather look to the circumstances surrounding the case. Your husband is what is known as a presumed father, which is essentially a man that was married to the mother when the child was born, legally agreed to be the father of his wife's child (by signing the birth certificate, and has acted and behaved as the child's father. You cannot receive child support from both the presumed father (if he is still your husband) and the biological father (assuming he admits to being the father) and a court would likely determine your husband to be the father for purposes of child support.
