Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this post. I will start by saying that I am from Texas. in July of 2012 a child was born and I was deceived into believing that the child was mine. I did not have a paternity test done at the time of the child's birth. Yes I'm aware that I should have done this but at the time it never crossed my mind. in January of 2014 I was informed by a good friend of the mother of the child that I should have a DNA test done because the mother of the child had admitted to her that she didn't believe the child was mine. I then had a home DNA test done that confirmed the suspicions. I then went to a local lab and had a certified DNA test done with the same results.I am in the process now of signing over my parental rights and getting my $14,200 in arrears waived. I am wondering if I have a case to file a lawsuit against her at some point for child support payed($13,600) and emotional damages. And by the way, as of now, I'm still paying child support and medical insurance, and she is still receiving this, knowing that the child isn't mine. Sorry for the long drawn out post. Thank you again
