Q: I’m just now receiving a notice for child support. The baby is 4. What are the odds that I can get Full custody ?
The mother never informed me that she was pregnant. Now 4yrs later I’m hit with Child Support papers. What are the odds of getting full custody of the child if he’s mine? What steps do I need to take to ensure I get full custody? Of course after a DNA test. Court date is next month.
A:
Call me or a lawyer of your choosing quickly.
I can't tell from your brief description what is happening and would need more facts to give you any kind of educated opinion. Too much to discuss here.
