Has a paternity test been conducted to determine that the child is not yours? File a motion with the court to modify child support. Without knowing more facts the best advice is to seek a family law attorney near you or search for legal clinics.

You need to distinguish between timesharing (custody) and termination of parental rights. It sounds like you already have 100% timesharing. A termination of parental rights would mean that you no longer receive child support. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
