If you are paying support for a child that is not yours, you have one more chance to correct this wrong. California has become the eleventh state in the country to enact legislation for men who have wrongly been pegged as the father of a child and ordered to pay support for that child.

If you have an order to pay child support that was entered by default, not allowing you to obtain genetic testing, the court will allow your order to be set aside to determine if you are the biological father of the child. If the testing determines that you are not the biological father, you will no longer be required to pay child support.

If this issue applies to you, do not delay. This law is only effective until October 2006.
