My ex lied to me about my son for child support
I have searched the threads on this website and cannot find anything that fits my particular case. Please help if you know the answer! My husband was married to a woman 12 years ago and she became pregnant. She told my husband that the child was his and they were married so he believed her. They divorced a year after the child was born and she has collected child support for 11 years. All has been well with the situation until my husband married me and we just recently had a child together and sought for the previous support order to be modified to include our child. My husband's ex got mad and now she has let us in on her little secret, that the child that came from their marriage is not my husbands biological child, but nana nana boo boo, my husband still has to pay for him. What can be done? My husband is on the birth certificate because he believed her when she said that the child was his, but he signed under false pretenses! Now my husband wants a paternity test to prove that she is telling the truth because truthfulness is not one of her strong suits. If the child is proven not to be my husband's is he still responsible for the child support, can he sue her for fraud, can he sign over his parental rights to this child ? Can it be ordered that she find and collect child support from the biological father and what rights can we get for this child to know his real father? We are so frustrated and it's such an injustice for this kid to be robbed of knowing the other side of his biological family so that his mother could collect a paycheck.
