Q: how to get support order from evasive father. process started 3x since 2016
first attempt in 2016 included a dna test from guy i was married to at time of birth, not the father but because i was married they told me to leave father part blank on his birth certificate. this attempt was instigated when i was approved for tanf after having to leave our home due to my mothers nonsense.
this nonsense resulted in false accusations with cps the following year and i spent 3 years doing an insane amount of jumping through flaming hoops to have him returned to me from my mothers narcissistic control of my reality. the county tried to have him served at least twice in those years and still no orde. court docs list him as father the case. he never engaged at all.
i now have full custody and tax rights. to escape my mother we moved in w dad it has been a year and aside from the roof over our head (Grateful!) he has not financially contributed. pretends he doesn't exist for the most part. literallyi need support ordered before we move on. how does he evade this?
