Question

The short answer is yes. Any child born during an intact marriage is considered the child of the Husband and the Husband is legally responsible for that child, which includes child support. You would need to petition the court to disestablish paternity and ideally at the same time the actual father should petition the court to establish paternity, as the court does not like to leave a child without a Father that can pay child support, so if the actual Father steps up to take your place the court is more likely to disestablish paternity without giving you any trouble.
