    Default Biological Father's Responsibility for Support if Mother Was Married to Someone Else

    My question involves paternity law for the State of: Georgia

    My wife and I were going through a divorce a few years ago. During our separation, I started seeing a woman who was also going through a divorce. She ended up pregnant. About a month into the pregnancy, she told me she had miscarried, and ended our relationship. I ended up reconciling with my wife, and moved back in with my family.
    About a year and a half later, the woman contacted me. She had also reconciled, and was back with her husband. At that time, she told me that she hadn't miscarried, but had given birth to the child, and her husband thought it was his. We reconnected briefly, and she ended up leaving her husband again. I was still with my wife, as we only were friends at that point.
    A few months later, I found out that she was involved in some shady business, and called her out on it. She told me she didn't want anything to do with me anymore, so I decided to cease contact with her. Months went by, and out of the blue she contacted me again by email. Her divorce went through, and she was living with family. A few days later, she advised me that she had told her ex husband that the child was not his. Her ex is no longer involved, and pays child support for her other two children, but not the one in question, although he is still the legal father. Now she is asking me to step in and either raise the child with her, or she will file for child support.
    I have children and a happy family with my wife. We have completely reconciled all of the grievances from our separation 3 years ago, and I do not want to be with the other woman.
    What are my rights? I have never been involved in the child's life. Although I was initially prepared to be, I was lied to, and was robbed of that opportunity. I have since moved on, and don't wish to have this ruin my family. Am I responsible for child support? What legal actions can she/I take?
