Not really--if he has paid then he cannot get it back.

Maybe he just wants to make sure you don't sue for back support

Re: Paying child support and is not on the birth certificate

If he's not been legally established as the biological father, he doesn't even need to be paying any child support. There needs to be first, paternity established, and then custody/visitation and child support.

He can request receipts, although you do not have to provide them. He can only take you to court to determine his own paternity to the child. Once that has been established, he will then have parental rights and obligations. He will receive visitation or joint custody, and child support will be a court ordered obligation.
