I am 19 and going through hell. I was 17 when I signed the birth certificate of the child that my girlfriend, at the time gave birth to. She had been staying with me and my parents since she had gotten pregnant and until she told me that the child was not mine. She told me that the child was not mine on Dec. 25, 1999, the baby was 8 months old at this time. I still did things for the baby when she called me and said the bay needed something because I felt sorry for him, he is not at fault. She told me who the father was when she told me that he was not mine and that she woukd try to get my name off the birth certificate and the baby's name changed. I never heard from her again until Sept. 2000 when i was served with a court order to be in court for child support. The arbitrator assigned $245.00 a month to be paid to the child for support. I have a lawyer but she think my chances of getting a paternity test to prove that the baby is not mine is slim to none. I feel like I am running out og options, I have a court date on Jan. 11, 2001, I need to know if there is any way I can get a patetrnity test to prove that I am not the father. I have not even begun to live my life and can hardly afford lving by myself, why should I have to pay child support and the child is not mine? I did not know that she could do something like this to me, she led me to beleive that the child was mine, and at the time, I had no reason to doubt her until she confessed. Please help me out, I really need help. North Carolina
