Confused : (

I reside in Florida and here's my issue...


In January 07' my now husband's exgirlfriend had a baby. Throughout her entire pregnancy(while we were dating), she insisted that it wasn't his baby. She kept saying it belonged to one of the other guys she had been sleeping with... In April, we received a notice of a court order paternity test, as she was filing for government assistance to care for the baby.

We discussed it with her and she was still adamant that it was not possible the baby was his....she was "100%" sure it belonged to this guy named Ray.
Her and Ray were planning to get married and since she had not listed a father's name on the b.c., that he would adopt the baby.

My husband signed an affidavit of nonpaternity and received a letter from the court advising that he no longer had to take the paternity test...

Now....June 08' He receives a Notice of Child Support Action regarding same said mother and baby.

How is she able to file a claim for child support against him if he signed the affidavit of nonpaternity?

I'm confused....

The affadavit was signed so that Ray could adopt the baby. Apparently, Ray did not adopt the baby. Your husband needs to have paternity, or lack thereof, established.

Irish is correct without proof of paternity can be no support order. He needs to establish paternity then he or Mom can seek orders for support/visitation/custody
