Family Law (Divorce, Family Relations) - Child Support; paternity test


Expert: Jeff Laatsch - 10/25/2009

Question
I am currently on disability. I have to go after the father of my child for support but when he claims the child is not his (and I have only ever slept with him so no doubt it is) I am worried court will take a long time and I will be stuck with a newborn baby and not a penny to get by on. Can this happen?

Answer
Kayla:
DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT A LAWYER or ATTORNEY. I am someone who has experience with family law issues, and am sharing my OPINION only. For the exact law as it pertains to your specific case contact a Professional Attorney in your area/county/country.

I recommend that you hire a Professional Attorney: Most attorneys offer 1/2 free consultation time to discuss case and payment options.

Then have the Attorney file:

- File motion for father to take paternity test.
- File motion for Child Support
- File motion for parenting plan and visitation.

The paternity test will establish that Dad is DAD without a doubt.

Kind Regards,
Jeff
