It doesn't matter if he doesn't sign, the state will require him to take a dna test and then they'll handle the child support, etc. He has no legal ability to NOT pay for a child he brought into this world; they'll dock his pay if necessary. You didn't make that baby by yourself, so he's financially responsible for helping to raise it, even if he chooses to be a crappy dad in every other aspect.
You can get a DNA test done and when it comes back saying the baby is his, he WILL have to pay child support whether he signs it or not. My friend had a baby and he refused to sign the birth certificate and she took it to her lawyer and the DNA test proved it and he had to start paying it.
He only HAS to pay child support if he signs the birth certificate. Which he wont.. other wise there is nothing stating he is the father and it would turn into this whole big thing that would end up costing me money
He's legally responsible for child care, whether he wants to be involved with the child or not, he made that baby so he doesn't have a choice whether he provides support. Not sure what state your in, but in my state the Attorney General's office handles it, a simple google search should tell you how it works where you are.
I've spoken to her but she doesnt care. She blames everything on me.. The baby's father isnt involved AT ALL he wont pay child support or anything like that, so that is out of the question.
Were are you from?? Because you can always apply for government help. Or you can wait till your baby is born and ask for TANF its a monthly check for you and your baby and with that you will have to put child support from your fathers baby. Then apply for housing and with that monthly check you will be able to pay a minimum rent.
Have you tried expressing your concerns to her? Me and my mom got in a HUGE fight back in November and we didn't speak at all until recently. Mine is such a long story, but I was so stressed and aggrivated because of everything she was doing so I understand what you mean with the stress. I was fortunate and my fiance's parents took me in and I've been living with them ever since. Do you have anyone you can stay with for a few days to relieve some stress? you can private message me if there is anything you do not want to post on here.
