I recently discovered through a DNA test that I have a son. His mother was married at the time to a real jerk of a man but was afraid to get a divorce.

You can file a petition to establish paternity. You say you're doing this for your son, but are you are really doing this for yourself? Your son has no idea that you exist or that the man he knows as his father is not his biological father. Have you considered the potential harm and... Read more »

If paternity is established, your ex bf has the same rights, responsibilities and obligations as any other father in Krntucky.
I'm struggling with my own self because of what my in-laws and wife has done. I'm trying to pick up the pieces they left behind. I'm trying to do that, support my son and make a life for us. If I get hit with what is normal on child support I'll be literally on the streets.

Judges tend to place child support as priority number 1 as far as "creditors" go. I've been in front of judges that have told litigants to forego utility bills, credit cards, etc., to make their child support payments first because failure to do so could land you in jail.

Go to the county attorney for your county and ask them to enforce the child support order against him, although it may be difficult with him in Puerto Rico.

You need to file a motion with the court (child support court/superior court??) and have an actual hearing, rather than contacting case workers and waiting for them to take appropriate action. While the children are in your custody, you should not be obligated to pay child support. The trial... Read more »

Child support is determined by income of the parents with certain deductions for insurance, day care, and medical costs. This calculation is then made on the guidelines in accordance with the custody schedule. Having "debt" is not going to factor much, if at all. You would be wise to hire... Read more »

The custodial parent theoretically has no right to waive support owed to the minor and the prevailing thought is no. However, if that agreement to waive is reached snd not challenged, it might stand up for other reasons.

You would probably do better to take all of your paperwork to a private attorney and let him/her review it. The private attorney will be better able to spend the time on trying to determine what is going on with your case. If the court order states a specific amount each month for current support,...

As the other answer says, you can seek attorney's fees. These are authorized by statute, including civil or criminal contempt. However, if you are awarded fees, it's just a judgment like anything else. He may not have the ability to pay and you may not be able to collect. You would still... Read more »

By Statute they are authorized. The Court may or may not grant the fees, for which you have to put on some proof. Also you may not collect, or get paid in full.

We live in New York City. If not stipulated in the agreement is the father allowed to reduce the support for any reason?
answered on Jun 27, 2022
If there is no provision in the order to reduce the support to cover this fee and you never agreed to this, it is not permissable. The non-custodial parent owes the full amount.
no child support now. similar incomes. joint custody and placement.

No. That is a property division that took place for assets after your marriage. Child support she would be paid from the recent marriage would be for the benefit of the children from that marriage. If she received income producing assets in the property division of the recent divorce, that... Read more »
