legal question

[justiceimani]

So I don't want to put my baby daddy on the birth certificate So he doesn't have any visitation rights or can't come and try to take my child whenever he pleases.I was going to get a paternity test done so he can't deny it anymore and it will be on file that he legally is. My question is Can I still get child support if i do that?

The best thing is to get a lawyer because parental rights and child support vary from state to state. Here in TN, you have to pay child support even if you don't have a job if you are the parent. Plus if he has gang affiliates (if you can prove it), the court will have to take that into consideration. Go to the social worker office in your city/county and explain your situation and they will give you assistance or point you in the right direction.

Oh I just read the part about him being a felon and dangerous...you Will have to prove all that is a danger to baby.  Im sorry u r in this situation and I hope all goes well

[bonnieella20]

U have to decide if child support is worth the hassle of dealing w him. But I do think its wrong to deny him rights to his child just cause he handled the pregnancy wrong and talked bad about u. If he comes around and wants to see his kid and is a safe parent...might as well get the child support and let him see his kid.

If disability SSI is his only income,  you won't be able to get child support for him.  That income isn't used in figuring net income to calculate child support payments.

Once you have ur baby for the birthcertificate you have to sign for being the mom, but if his not there to sign he will not appear in it, but if later on he fights for paternity he has the right to appear on it but its costu

Thank you for seeing where I'm coming from. And with the child support money I want to set up my own child's bank account that can't even be touched. Almost like a Gerber life plan thing. To ensure my baby is covered no matter what.

I fully understand where you coming from darling.  I'm in a similar situation.  The dad doesn't want anything to do with us. That is fair enough and if he doesn't want to see the bub it's his loss. On the other side the child support is important, regardlessif he has contact to the baby or not.  The money is for the BABY! So he should man up and paying some child support at least!  I'm still trying to find out myself how to go ahead with this problem.

Call lawyers in your area and ask them. Look for those that specialize in child support cases. Although we are happy to help and give advice this is a very complicated situation with so many angles. You are trying to prepare yourself early so that is great. Best of luck.

Why were you with him or even get pregnant by someone that does all of this..?

[m_villareal2014]

My husband has a 6yr old little boy. His x didnt put him on the certificate and put him on child support. Trust ot will get verry messy. But my husband isnt allowed to c his lil boy...it sux cuz our lil girl aint guna kno her big brother cuz his momma dnt wana give rights...

[justiceimani]

Thanks I will definitely do that. But he isn't a good parent. Because he has a pending criminal record and is A felon. And an active gang member and drug dealer. Not only that but he doesn't have a job neither does he try to get one and he smokes weed all day everyday I don't want my kid around that at all.

you would definitely need to take him to court for full custody if you don't want to give him visitation rights...but you will need a good reason and proof that he would not be a good parent. You can still get child support as long as you have proof of paternity along with the other proof. Please discuss with a legal advisor before following through with any decisions though. Good luck!

If he pays child support he has certain rights to his child. Leaving him off the birth certificate means nothing if there is a paternity test.

[cheyannekmray]

If you want nothing to do with him then you Don't deserve his money. If he isn't going to be apart of yours or your child's life then he shouldn't have to pay

[justiceimani]

And he doesn't want the child anyways so what does it matter? I'm sorry you guys can judge me all you want I just want to weigh out my different options.

[cheyannekmray]

If you recieve child support from him then he legally has a right to have your child sometimes. You need to go to court to have a parenting plan put in place.

[justiceimani]

Yeah its a very messy situation I just feel like why should he get visitation rights for a child he didn't want in the first place and insisted I get an abortion. And always talked bad about me.neither has he been there for us at all and tells me to leave him the **** alone. So that's what I'm doing. My baby is not getting his last name, neither is his name going on the birth certificate.

Your baby daddy should have visitation rights...goodness! You could take his money and not let him see his child?! Wow

[2743715210474323234_266_5]

Jeez that sounds messy

[bnl0725]

Once you go to court for child support he will have visitation rights.

[kiki24115]

If you put him on child support. .he will have visitation rights

[justiceimani]

Also he's on disability too.
