Child support and paternity issues
There have been many cases where a man has been required to continue paying child support even after discovering that the child was not his. One common scenario is that the man fails to challenge paternity and treats the child as though it were his own, helping to raise the child, making support payments, etc. Then, at some point, the man discovers the child is not his and seeks to terminate child support.
In Massachusetts, as in other states, it is quite possible that a court faced with this type of situation, and determined to do what is in the best interest of the child, may require the father to continue paying support. The way to avoid this outcome is to request a paternity test at the earliest possible juncture. I know, not the kind of thing that is usually good for a relationship (if you are hoping to get back together with the lady in question). But you need to protect your rights. You should not sign the voluntary acknowledgement of paternity until after you do the test. Otherwise, you may find yourself trying to vacate the acknowledgment of paternity, a task that, in some cases, can be difficult. Once the test is completed you will know where you stand and what your obligations are to the child. Good luck.
It's good to ask an attorney call us now
The law has changed a great deal in the last decade, and now in quite a few states, a spouse who is not a legal parent (biological or adoptive) may be granted custody or visitation under the notion of equitable parent. Courts apply this concept when a spouse and child have a close relationship and consider themselves parent and child or where the biological parent encouraged this relationship. If the court grants an equitable parent custody or visitation, then the parent will also be required to pay child support.
