The father of my children file a petition to establish paternity his lawyer called me and asked me to file an income affadavit but we were never married and i have the children they reside with me do i still have to file the petition
A: If child support is at issue, then both parties must file their financial affidavits regardless of the type of action that is at issue. It would truly serve your interests to consult with an attorney on the specifics of your case. Many attorneys do offer free initial consultations. All the best.
