Options for possible son with end-stage renal failure

Just a few days ago, an ex-girlfriend contacted me and informed me that I have a son. I am 35. He is 18. I don't know if he is mine or not but I will find out via paternity test. The reason she contacted me is because he is in end-stage renal failure. Apparently, his mom is not a match and he has some rare tissue type or something, which means I would most likely be a match. I really don't want to give up a kidney and I don't want a relaltionship with the kid. It might have been different if I knew so many years ago. I am also afraid she will now come after me for back child support. Since I am being forced into all of this, I am curious if I might be able to cut a deal. Maybe like donate a kidney in exchange for back (and future) child support. Would this be possible? My other option is to just refuse to donate if I am a match. I want to know what I would be liable for if/when he dies. Would this waive all back child support since he wouldn't be around to benefit from it.

Children are God's gift to the world... 

I will keep my personal opinion out of this matter and just say that the only way to know for sure what legal rights you have is to contact a family attorney (you can find one in your area here). Good luck.

You know if you give blood it is proof positive that you are his biological father you can be responsible for the child financially, 23% of your gross income, medical dental expenses and the child is eligible for your SS disability.  I would think twice before taking the paternity test unless you want the involvement or a government agency require it. 

If the mother has ever had fincancial aid from the government you may be liable to pay back all of that money. 

I would think twice before taking a paternity test!!
