Q: How do I go about receiving child support from a man who lives in another state. Due 3-23-17
I am not married and this child is not my boyfriends, I was raped and didn't go to the legal system about it because I was terrified they would call me a liar like they did when I was 18. I know for a 100% fact that it is not my boyfriends child and was wondering how I could go about getting child support from the biological father. I am due March 23rd 2017 and would like to have the ball of wax rolling before this child is born.
A: Sorry I didn't see your question last year when you originally asked it. If not resolved, hire a lawyer in your home county to file a paternity action. If you just can't afford it, get help from DHS. I really hope you have already done something to get help with this.
