A: You should talk to an attorney about your case. You don't have to pay for her child if he is not legally yours.
Homer P Jordan IV and Holly G Chapman agree with this answer
A: You will not be ordered to pay child support for the child as you are not his legal or biological father.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleagues, if the child is not legally yours you will not be ordered to pay child support. You should consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
