    Question State is Pursuing Child Support for Children Who Aren't Mine

    My questions are in reference to legal aid in child support case.
    My name is Hermie.
    Ilive in the state of fl, and i need legal advise. I'm married but separated from my wife for over 6yrs. From the time that we were married we have a 7yr old boy that means the world to me. I am paying child support for him, but now the state is trying to come after me because she is got other kids, which are not mine and they are stating that i'm responsible for their support. "They are not my kids"!!!!! She lives w the other kids father, why would I have to pay to support their kids???? We've been going back and foward with our divorce but the attorney i hired doesn't return my calls and I feel like he hired me instead of me hiring him. I've already paid him in full which i think was one of the biggest mistakes i've ever made and now he wants to get more money from me and to be honest I'm not rich, i cannot afford to pay more money on this. Can somebody help me and gve me advs??? I will really apretiate it. I know there has to be a way to get this matter resolved.

    When were these children born?

    Have you told your attorney about the children?
    If you have, what is in the divorce petition or answer regarding the children?

    The problem is that if these children were born during your marriage, they are considered to be your legal children unless paternity is legally disestablished by court order.
