If your name is not on the birth certificate then you shouldnt be paying end of are the csa that stupid,and i don’t mean this the wrong way mate but … If the child beyond doubt is not yours how have you let this happen
Don’t have to be on the birth certificate to have to pay child support. You have to prove (by DNA test) that it’s not your child not,it’s not their place to prove it is. Sadly they are a bunch of morons.
Not being on the birth certificate does not absolve you from paying Child Support. If however you know for sure you are not the biological father ask for a DNA test. I searched earlier postings about this and Lisa seems to have the most complete answer, which I cut and paste below . Information is from someone called Lisa who posts often on this forum…
. If NRP denies paternity on initial MEF on MEF call or MEF form NRP will be offered DNA testing for QC(s) – this can be only, all or some (exceptions to this is where QC(s) are adopted. New App team will refer case to Complex Case Worker and DNA test(s) will be referred to Cellmark – Cellmark will contact NRP and PWC to make arrangements for tests to be carried out. NRP will be required to attend a specified medical facility (may be their own GP) and must present photographic ID. Tests are taken and sent to Cellmark lab. Results are supplied to CSA.
If NRP is proven to be the biological parent the case will be opened and an assessment for CM will be progressed and the NRP will be held liable for regular maintenance back to the Initial Effective Date (the date the NRP was first contacted by the CSA).
If the NRP is proven not to be the biological parent of the only QC named in the application the case will be closed, the PWC cannot re-apply for this child and this NRP at any point.
If the NRP is proven not to be the biological parent of 1 or some of the QCs in the application the child(ren) who are proven not to be the biological children of the NRP will be removed the case will remain open to include QC(s) who have been proven to be the biological child(ren) of the NRP, NRP will be liable for RM of any QC proven to be the biological child(ren) of the NRP. The NPR will be held liable for the cost of DNA test(s) that prove the NRP to be the biological parent of child(ren), the CSA will pay the cost of the DNA test(s) that prove the NRP not to be the biological parent of child(ren).
If PWC refuses to allow a DNA test the case will be closed (if there is only 1 QC named) or the appropriate child(ren) will be removed from the application if there are multiple children. The PWC can re-apply naming QC(s) at a later date and the NRP will be asked again if they accept paternity of QC(s), if paternity is accepted the case will be opened and assessed, if paternity is denied DNA testing will be re-offered.
Either way until it’s been proved they shouldn’t take any money
u need to ask for DNA only wya they alway take women say so
see your mp & ask for your refund
To add to Marcus’ advice, the CSA will only fund a DNA test prior to a calculation being carried out (pre-MC). If paternity is disputed after the case has been set up, you will need to arrange for your own private DNA test through one of the companies shown here:
