You need to pay maintenance unless you establish before the court of law that the child is not born to you. Only after you provide sufficient evidence that the child is not yours, you can refuse to pay maintenance the amount.

The word very much sure is not enough to say that the kid is not mine,but the maternity or paternity is to be proved by medical procedure before compitent court, then only u can say thild is not mine, and ur not entitle to pay mentainence to that child,
