I was married to my wife when our daughter was born 5 years ago. My wife and I are filing for divorce but I found out the daughter is not my biological daughter from legal DNA paternity testing.
I sponsored them to immigrate to USA 4 years ago, but my wife was cheating on me and conceived my daughter with another man. I do not want to pay child support. Legally am I required to provide child support for my daughter who has been proved not to be my biological daughter? I live in Washington state. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Marriage only provides a presumption of paternity . WHEN you file for divorce or if she requests child support you'll need to file a motion to disestablish paternity .

And you don't feel a moral obligation to help support the child you raised as your own for many years??

Fraud was committed and he was a victim. If anything, he should get custody, and let the ex wife pay child support. It proves she has no morality, and is a terrible role model for the child in question.

No, there is NO moral obligation. He was defrauded into believing the child was his. He has neither a moral and hopefully obligation for either.
Why dont you get your checkbook out and start sending ME 20% of your earning. Oh...I know we have no kids together...but dont you feel a moral obligation to support a child who is not yours?

Haha..ya..I wasn't thinking but it is ironic..
But what is it with these women who think there is some kind of moral obligation because he supported the kid for the 5 previous years. In fact, she needs to pay him back EVERY friggin dime he spent on a child that wasn't his. Talk about greed at it's finest. He has no obligation what so ever and in fact, she should be punished for the fraud (although of course, we know that wont happen..somehow, she will present herself as a victim..blah blah).

...CSE would have gotten out of Joseph?
"Yes, that will be two lambs and a wooden table (he WAS a carpenter) once a month."

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'm just saying, if you raise a child for many years and treat it as your own, wouldn't you want to continue to have a relationship with that child and know that it is being well taken care of in every way?
It seems as if this is the only father this child has known! You don't rear, nurture and love a child for the first 4-5 years of it's life, create a bond and then turn your back on it.
I agree that he was defrauded but instead of asking how he can not support this child shouldn't he be asking how he can gain custody of a child that he loved and raised as his own??
