A: If there was an Order establishing paternity, you will not be able to get the child support you have paid, or owe back. Did you do a DNA test at the time child support was originally put in place?
A: You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of your case in detail and present you with the options for going forward. If a DNA test shows that you are not the biological father then you do have options regarding the child support.
