child support

A lot of my fam & friends tell me to put child support on my daughters dad becus he has done nothing for her. I personally hate child support and court. But like everyone says not to let my pride get in my way and my daughter DESERVES his money becus I didnt make her on my own. I don't want to put his last name on her becus he doesn't deserve it all & I don't want him to have rights. Anyonene know what I can do in this type of situation?!

In less you live in ga and y'all are not married hw will have to pay child support and still wont have no rights to the child.... and a lot of states are like that I know of a few of them myself...

If u put him on child support then he will have rights n they will set up visitation days were he can get his child there's no way around that but like the others said try doing it civil n once the baby here see if he changes don't force him but let him come to u on his own if he doesn't just continue to raise ur baby by yourself I feel u on not wanting to deal with the courts its such a hassle n having so many ppl in ur business if u don't need his lil money then let him be in the end he is missing out on the most precious thing n that's watching his baby grow money can't replace that

I think you should try one more time before you go to court because you don't want the court all in your business I'm sure that's no fun at all. They say a woman becomes a mother the moment she finds out she's pregnant but a man becomes a father the moment he sees his child. If he doesn't step up when she is born I think child support may be your best option. As far as the rights go he has to sign them over and I don't know of many men who will be willing to do that.

Try 1more time for a mutual agreement  between the two of u (u &the dad ) keep the family out of it even though they have your best interst at heart (less drama).  If that doesn't work n u can survive financially taking care of her by yourself so b it let it alone, God will take care of him &  If not u might just have to take him to court.
