Bronx, NY asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: Please help below is my question

I was married now divorced. We allegedly had one child together I thought was mine. Signed the birth certificate at birth. We were married when child was born. I am now remarried and the child is 13. I divorced my ex wife when the child was 10. Since then I had been paying child support. Now I come to find out after going to a doctor with my current wife that I cannot bear children, that I was born with a Y deletion and two different doctors told me the child I thought was mine 13 years could not possibly be, it is medically inpossible because I was born unable to have children. What do I do now? I am still paying child support ! I am disgusted.
