child support

[MommahElizabeth]

Does anyone know if I have to wait until my Daughter is born to file for child support ? He's not going to be in the birth certificate either. I'm in Cali.

I've tried to get to an agreement with him, even about him being there when I give birth but his new girlfriend doesnt allow him to even buy our daughter clothes or even ask about how she's growing! So I just opted for child support. I've heard about that but I didnt think it was true :0 so far its been really hard but fortunately my dad & brothers have been so much help. Oh my gosh that's horrible! Your brother should really step up

In California unless hes there at hospital to sign the BC they wont put him on there. But they always do a DNA test in order to put him on child support. Even on child support he can stop working and you won't get anything. My brother is a dead beat and purposesly doesnt work so they dont take child support for his kid. If there's anyway you and him can come to an agreement  and get it notarized I would suggest you do that. You dont receive all the money that they take away from him, system is so effed up. Good luck I know it can be so tuff being a single parent.

I don't mind if he's put on the bc, but she will most def not be carrying his last name! But she's biologically his, he has to pay even if he's not on it, I mean that's what child support is about!
Thank you girls!<3

He will need to have a DNA test before they make him pay anything. Sometimes they won't make him if he isn't on bc

If u don't want him on birth certificate you don't get child support.  Because you aren't married,  you will both have to have a paternity test if you file for child support,  and after the results come back positive they automatically put his name on birth certificate.

[MommahElizabeth]

Okay, not worried about the DNA test becus we both know she's his. Just worried he won't want to take it so he wont get child support!

My husbands ex had to wait til baby was born for same reason she wanted child support when we got married but they expect a dna test since they werent married

[MommahElizabeth]

Damn 6 months is a long wait. If he already has an open case would the process go faster? My drs office had done him an interview each trimester to see how he felt about the baby & him knowing that the baby is his. Idk if that would be of any help?

You'll Have To Wait Until The Babies Born. In Missouri They Require A Paternity Test No Matter What And The Whole Process Took About 6 Months.

My sister had to wait cuz when she was filing they asked they birthday of the child & she didn't know exactly what day she could of been born & also he could deny & request a dna test
