Yes, she can seek child support. There will be a DNA test done to prove the person is the father. If he is found to be the biological father then he will likely be ordered to pay child support. She should consult with an attorney who can help with the process.

You have a lot going on with this. I would be wise to consult with an attorney of your own and discuss the facts of the case so you can get some guidance. The custody of your children is at stake, so don’t delay in getting your own attorney.
