I have just been served with child support papers on my daughter who just turned 15. Her mother and I never were married on lived together shortly. I signed the birth certificate voluntary acknowledging her paternity. I have always been in contact and my family has been apart of my daughters life to the extent her mother would let us. In 2000 her mother took me to court to do a paternity test on her son (which was not my son) and to set child support for both children. After the paternity results came back that I was not the father of the boy the mother had the child support case closed. No support was ever ordered for my daughter. We have also been in contact and I have carried my daughter on my health insurance (I even tired to have her son put on my insurance because the children didn't have any) at my place of employment for the past 7 years. My question is can she get 15 years of retroactive child support, being that paternity was established at birth and I have been involved?
