Q: Paternity has never been established, the child is 8. The mother doesn't let me see the child. Do I have to pay child
Support and am I going to have to pay back support? She says she wants no support from me, but tell child support enforcement that I pay $250 a month. I want to see my child but she always says the child is busy or just doesn't want to see me or her siblings. I am also on disability will that affect child support? Any help would be great.
A: What you need to do is to go see a family attorney in your area and find out what you will be able to get as far as visitation, and what you will most likely pay in child support, if you file a paternity action.
