Hello, this is somewhat time sensitive so I'm posting this question even though it's probably answered on here somewhere, just in case I can't find it. The question is...
A friend of mine has recently realized that there's a very good chance his 5-year old son is not actually his. He never married the mother and he actually has not had a consistent relationship with his "son", either (mother's been less than friendly). He's paid child support the entire time. He's going to get a paternity test, but I've heard that if you've paid child support for a certain amount of time, then you have to keep paying even if you're not the father. If that's the case, he'll probably just adopt the kid and file for some custody.
Anyway, does anyone know if it's true that he could have to keep paying support even if the kid isn't his?
Thank you for any responses.
