Man was married to woman. The woman had an affair during the marriage, had a child. The man or husband rather was present during the birth and was put on the child's birth certificate as the father. Even though he is not the father and now they are divorced does he have to pay child support? The child is now 12 years old; they were divorced when he was 6 yrs old. Can the ex-wife be made to find the real father for shild support? Is it really legal for him to be listed and pay support when the real father is out there somewhere. We all currently live in NC.
