A: From a family law perspective, the time to do something has long passed in terms of challenging paternity. You could potentially try to find a civil attorney to see if there is some sort of fraud claim you could bring against her, but the chances are highly unlikely. A paternity test should have been sought years ago and there is nothing you can do after the fact in the child support case.
