Re: After seven years my son is not mine.

Thank you for your inquiry. You are actually facing two different issues.

First, if the child is not yours, you have no obligation to pay child support.

Second, if the child is not yours, you may have a difficult time establishing that you should be permitted to continue visitation.

These are completely separate issues, and you should move forward on the child support issue immediately. Any paperwork you file would need to be in the same court/county that your divorce was handled.

I hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

Monica Donaldson
