Texas: Child support changes kick in Sept. 1

Article here. Excerpt:

'Men who have been paying child support for a child they believe is not theirs have 43 days to take their case to an attorney and get a court ordered paternity test.

Texas lawmakers recently passed a bill helping men who have dealt with mistaken paternity.

It gives men who have known they may not be the father of a child for more than a year a window of time starting in May 2011 to end payments when he has been wrongly named the father.

That window of opportunity closes September first, and a new law will go into effect.

Attorneys say getting out of paying child support was once difficult for men after the court determined a man was the father of a child. Even with DNA evidence, attorneys say father could rarely win the argument.'
