I am married to a man who was the bio dad of a married woman (she was separated and living in an apartment at the time) who later divorced him and asked him to step forward and take a dna test.  When all was said and done my now husband had to pay the former husband and her current child support.  The bottom line it's more importantly about the child'semotional health.  But secondly - if a bio mother has caused a man to pay child support (as though he had physically caused this child's birth) - in MY opinion SHE should pay the back child support to the non-responsible party.  And thebio dad should pay ongoing child support for his new found child.  I also think this problem is becoming more common and dna tests should be taken before fathers sign the birh certifiate or are listed on the birth cert as dad.

The man who thought he was the bio dad should have the heart to continue some kind of relationship with the daughter.  Added parents to the mixing pot (new wives or husbands) should encourage to the adults to do the right thing by the child - thechild has the right to know her bio family and the bio dad should finish out the financial responsibility to the child.
