The short answer is No and No. Before child support was awarded, you were asked if the children were yours. If you had said that one was not yours, the court would have ordered a paternity test. If you stand "in loco parentis", in the place of the parent, then there is usually no way to retreat. You knew that you had three children to support before you agreed to support the other four. The four children should be receiving support from their father(s). Do you really want to be legally obligated to take care of seven children, none of whom are yours?
