    Is a biological mother responsible to repay child support to a non biological father
    The mother of a child was in a relationship with 2 men at the same time, she became pregnant. She married one of the men who has raised the child as his own and now they are divorced and he pays child support. The other man has wanted to know for years (8) if he is the biological father but because of the mother's unwillingness and the trauma it may cause the child he has not pursued it on his own. The mother would be more likely to find out if she knew that she would not have to pay back the child support she has received.

    Yes in some states and no in others.

    The laws are very specific on this subject and vary from state to state. Also should the bio father come forth and challenge they may be liable for the support already paid.

    And the mother really has no choice if the one possible father files in court to force a DNA test.
