As regards the birth certificate, I'd suggest ringing the General Register Office for their advice...

Im so sorry to hear of your predicament. Finding out something like that must be awful especially as you love him so much. He will still probably regard you as his father so I hope your relationship with him stays ok. Good luck

If you love the boy why are you wanting all the maintenance payments back? If the mother has to repay them she will suffer financially,so will the child.She may not deserve and sympathy but surely the child does!

You can't claim the maintenance payments back - there is an assumption of legitimacy for a child born in wedlock and the Children Act allows maintenance to be claimed for a child who has been treated as a 'child of the family', even where the DNA proves you are not the biological father.

omg. you know that 3 in 10 kids arnt there claimed father.

just goes to show women really are the same as men!
