A Colorado man entered into marriage with his pregnant partner based on the erroneous belief that he was the father. After later divorcing, the man found out via a paternity test that he was not the father. He is currently seeking judicial relief from continued child support obligations, but under Colorado law he is still liable for the payments because he is listed on the birth certificate as the father.
