What is the name of your state? California
Our local Child Support agency has informed my fiance that a case has been opened where he has been named as the father. The child could possibly be his. However, the mother was married at the time of the child's birth (to another man) and her husband signed the Birth Certificate. The husband lived with mother and child for over a year, supporting his family all this time. Now the mother has separated from her husband and wants to claim my fiance as father and collect child support. Child Support Services has told us that even though the child has a legal father, they will pursue the case against my fiance. Can my fiance be liable to pay support?
