child support

So a friend of mine and her boyfriend just broke up because they couldn't get along the thing is she is like 4 months along I believe she texted me just now asking if she can get child support now even though baby ain't here I told her I'd think so because baby will need stuff for when he/she gets here but I wanted to see maybe someone been in this position

She cant get child support right now but after the baby is born and a dna test is done he will have to back pay any costs as well as pay from there on out. Im 4 months and in the exact situation with my childs father

If your under 23 or 24 years old and living with your parents you could get help ($235) and after the baby is born they gonna help you more ($535) and make you put child support on your baby daddy which ya both gonna go to court and have a DNA test and all that and but make sure to know his address so he could get a letter .

I'm 95% sure she can't until after the baby is born. She'll have to go to court and they'll do a DNA test to prove the child is his and then go from there

Technically you don't need most items until after the baby is born, so I don't think you get it while pregnant. I have no idea though, I would probably talk to a lawyer. Many have free consultations. Also, look up regulations for what state you are in.
