Q: My baby mama said she didn't want my child support on video? Does that mean I'm exempt?
My baby mama said she didn't want my child support. She isn't pregnant right now. We had sex didn't use protection, she denied me getting her the plan b pill. Turned into an argument, have a video stating she wouldn't tell me she had a child and didn't want child support, does that mean I'm exempt from child support if she does get pregnant?
A: No, you would not be exempt from paying child support for your child just because the mother says she doesn't want any right now. Parents have a legal obligation to support their children and nothing would prevent her from changing her mind later and filing against you for child support, potentially including retroactive child support.
