I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. In North Dakota, child support obligations generally end when the child turns *. But if there's an outstanding balance, you're still responsible for it. Did you appeal the court decision when you learned the child was not biologically yours?
yes but judge didn’t care if it was mine or not
I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, ****. North Dakota law requires the person who signed the birth certificate to pay child support, even if the child is not biologically theirs. You may want to consult with a lawyer for more guidance.

I understand. Since this issue is now in Minnesota, the laws of that state might apply. Minnesota has similar provisions regarding child support. It's crucial to consult a Minnesota-based lawyer to discuss your options.
