Yeah, definitely not the case I was thinking of. Here are two where DNA tests were insufficient to exonerate men from ongoing child support payments after the test results:

What's unusual (and newsworthy) in that specific case is that the child was a teenager by the time the paternity test happened, and Texas law doesn't remove any child support obligations imposed prior to the test. I believe that man was still contesting the outcome.
If anything, this is a great example of how important paternity tests can be. And why the U.S. should not outlaw paternity tests.
