My question involves paternity law for the State of: New York
I was in relationship with someone who lied to me about the paternity of a child conceived during our relationship. My name is on the birth certificate and the child has my last name. After a paternity test I we have established that the child who is now 12 years old is not biologically mine. Under the law am I still financially responsible for the child because I was assummed to be the father for so long and is there anyway to have my name removed to from the birth certificate? What are my rights and what are the rights of the child's mother? Also the child was born in New Jersey but currently resides in New Jersey.
