A friend of mine who is paying child support to his ex-wife recently told me that the child is not in fact his, but is the product of his wife's affair with another man. This did not come up at the divorce trial, although his wife's infidelity did. However, my friend has been paying child support to this woman for the past four years. He said that he was told that because he is the closest thing to a father that the child has, he still has to pay child support, even though the child does not belong to him. I've been trying to research whether or not this is true, since it seems pretty unreasonable to me, but I can't find anything addressing this particular issue.
The divorce occured in New York, and the ex-wife and child now live in New Jersey. My friend does not, unfortunately, have the money to see a lawyer unless he is certain that he's got a case for not having to pay child support anymore.
