No you should not be paying child support. However, the mother of your child needs to go to the family court in the county of the court order and file an affidavit to relieve you. However, since you have the child you should file pleadings with the court so that she can pay you child support. Also, if you do not have legal custody of the child you need to add that to your pleadings as well. If there is no legal custody then mom can come and pick up the child whenever she feels like.
