I have been charged as the father of a child that I know is not mine and I can't afford a lawyer. What can i do?

How did the child support order get set in the first place? Did you fail to appear at a hearing in the past? Prior to setting support against a man who is not married to the mother, there has to be a determination of paternity by admission or court order. There is an opportunity at the first hearing to request a test. If you missed the initial hearings, then you will have the burden of proving why the paternity should be set aside. Do you visit the child? Why did you miss the hearing in the first place? How long has the order been in place? It is possible to set aside the obligation to pay future support depending upon the circumstances.
