Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I just got papers in the mail to go to court for child support on a child that I didn't know was mine and she is almost 3 years old. Another man signed her birth certificate and is taking care of this child. if I sign my rights over do I still have to pay child support on this child? Even if I didn't sign the birth certificate and I have never paid child support?

Assuming the child is yours, there is no such thing as signing over your rights to get out of paying child support. If you do doubt paternity, you can have DNA testing done during the case.
