Q: i am being told i have to pay child support on a child that is not mine due to being legally married, is this correct?

In MN, i have been separated from my wife for 4 years, but we have not yet finalized the divorce. She now has a 9 month old child that I am not the father of. However, I recieved notice in the mail that i am expected to pay child support for this child.

Yes, unless you are able to establish that you are not the father. I strongly suggest you contact an attorney to discuss your matter as there are strict time limitation in challenging paternity. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your matter - 651.270.6484.

It is difficult to give advice without reviewing the custody decree. Generally, the father should be paying something in child support. I really would set up a consultation with a family law attorney to discuss available options.
