How can I be granted to pay child support when I haven't got any paper work about it?

First, you should check the court file (usually available on line).  In order to enter a child support order against you, there has to be a document showing that you were personally served with the original petition for support.  It is possible that service went to your old address- or someone else there took the papers and did not tell you.   Similarly, if this is an administrative order, they typically just mail you papers, and if you do not respond, they calculate support based on government documents (such as tax returns) that show your income.  Perhaps this happened as well.  You should then write a letter, send it certified and advise you never received any papers.    Follow up with calls until you get someone's ear, and then perhaps you can have a rehearing on this matter.  But do it soon!
