Child Support question and advice?

When I was pregnant with my son, the bio father cheated on me and then married the girl he cheated on me with why I was still pregnant. At no point during my pregnancy did he ever call me to see how I was doing or call to even see if the baby was born. My son is now 2. People have been telling me that I need to contact him so my son will know who his father is. I also can no longer carry the finicial burden on my own. Before I file with the state, I tracked down his number to let him know my plans- and as selfish as he always was, he tells me he is filing bankrupcy so he can't help me out, nor did he even ask about my son. So now I'm aggervated and want to file, however if I do, will the bankrupcy affect that and also I'm concerned because if something ever happens to me, this selfish man who cares nothing but for himself will probaly get custody of my son and that concerns me because he is so selfish and has no morals and obviously does not care about him at all
The first thing is that bankruptcy does not wipe out child support, alimony/ maintenance support or tax liens, levies or fines.

Next when someone applies for bankruptcy now, they are put on a payment schedule and have to pay everyone back that they owe money to. Their debts do not get wiped out.

Third go ahead and go to family court, file the child support papers. They will give you a hearing date, he would have to produce his bankruptcy paper and his payment schedule. The family court will notify the bankruptcy court that their is a pending child support hearing now and they may revise his bankruptucy payments to include the child support payments.

Lastly, go have a will made naming the person you would like as guardian for your child should something happen to you.

Many courts have attorneys on hand to answer some of these specific questions for people who do not have money for attorneys.

Go to court and the clerks in the court will help you complete all the necessary documents.

I hope this information helps.
Bankruptcy doesn't effect child support, I tryed

Now beware, once you start child support papers you may end up in court over custody

I dealt with support and custody issues for 8 years with my son


Answers:
He can say many things but nothing real, look for a good lawyer, he will help you and don´t worry, you won´t lose the custody of your son, just if you are a bad woman, but I don´t believe it.
I don't think you're going to get much out of this guy. Sounds like he knows how to hide what is his and is only looking out for himself.

Contact him and see if he will sign the paperwork/go to court allowing you full custody if he pays a lump sum and this will ensure that he never sees you again. This will ensure he can not gain any rights to the child in the future (some dads see if they can get custody/shared custody so they can pay less in child support). If you really need the money you can file and if you win the government can just nip the money of his wages if he doesn't pay.

Either way you will need a good lawyer.
My father was much like your son's biological father, but not quite so extreme. I know, that, after I'd lived with my mother for most of my childhood, he created a situation that caused my mom to file against him, and then, depending upon our expenses and income, we received a set portion of his pay. Regardless of whether or not he has an income, your son's father will be required to pay, period. (You will have to prove that he is the real father.) However, unless the father can be proved to be a physical threat, if you file, the courts will probably also order that your son visit with his father, a certain weekly or so routine, because they feel the son has a right to. I never wanted to, though, because of what my father put my family through, and it may be the same way for your son. I don't know how old your son is, but unless he's too young, maybe you should ask him if he wants to visit his father (I did NOT) and let that be an important factor in your decision.
You can probably fight for sole physical and legal custody of him, but there is no way to tell what would happen if something did happen to you, unless the child can express that he really doesn't want to live with his father, and/or you can prove he definitely shouldn't.
Also, when the child turns 18, the child support and visitation stops, but any money YOU get (if any) from him will continue.

I'd think about it carefully, but hopefully I have helped by providing some information. It's comforting to know that your son has at least one good parent-- and you both deserve the best. Good luck.
By law, he has to support that child one way or the other. You will get back child support from when the child was born and if doesn't pay, he'll just be racking up a huge bill for himself (with interest). Even if he doesn't want to see your baby, you need to get chld support/paternity established. You should not have to carry the burden of supporting that child on your own.

Also, do not force him to see his child. It may end up in a disaster for your Son. But, force him to pay for that child.
He can declare bankruptcy, it won't have any affect on the child support. You need to get him involved with helping out financially to raise the child, even if he obviously has no interest in your son. Due to the fact that he is now 2 and has never seen or heard from his dad, and his dad obviously isn't concerned about him, I doubt that any judge would grant him even joint custody, so I wouldn't worry about that.
Go ahead and file. Bankruptcy doesn't matter and he can't take your son away.
Bankruptcy will NOT effect child support he is expected to pay.

If you two were living together and declared bankruptcy, you would still support your children. Same thing.

Go to court and get an order for support and to set visitation for the father. He is entitled to visit his child if he choses. You cannot deny him access. The kid has a right to know his father.

You and the father have to put your own pettiness aside and think of the child you two produced.

Nobody forced you two to have unprotected sex.you did it willingly and probably enjoyed it. The consequences are the child, who is innocent in this whole matter. It is the CHILDS best interest that counts. Not how you guys feel about each other.
