Must I pay for a child from before I’d even married her?

I met my ex wife in 1986 and she had a child who was 5months old. We married in late 2006 and had 3 children.

In 1991 we separated and I paid CSA through salary.

The CSA are again after me for payment for the child who is not mine. Every time they contact me I explain that I am not his biological father.

Where do I stand with this?

  1. You have no responsibility to this child, get the CSA to do a DNA test, they should by law! And to be fair if this child is over 20 you shouldn’t be paying for him anyway!

  2. If you haven’t adopted him then no you have no financial responsibility for that child. Are the csa not aware you formed a relationship when the child was 5 months old? Why has the pwc even asked the csa to collect maintenance when she knows full well you are not the biological father, paternity fraud this is called and its on the increase.

    Also flip side does the child know you are not their bio dad, if you raised him/her from a baby think how s/he must be feeling.
