Confirm he was however this child is named after another man who signed the birth certificate. Is he legally responsible if someone else acknowledged the child and signed the birth certificate?
answered on Mar 28, 2023
If he is the father he is legally responsible regardless of who signed the birth certificate and even if the child was named after another man. The other man didn't accept responsibility for that child for the next 18 years simply because he signed the birth certificate, if it's not his... View More

You can hire a private attorney to petition the court for child support. Once the court orders the non-custodial parent to pay support, they will also likely order him to pay medical insurance, if he can do so at an affordable rate. Or you may be able to keep your insurance. That will be up to... View More

If you cannot get answers through child support enforcement then you may need to hire an attorney. Oftentimes it is difficult for a non-custodial parent to get answers from the Division of Child Support Services, but they are more receptive to attorneys who are representing you. Then your...

Ex wife filed contempt in the county I live in that doesn't hold the original order.

A defendant can typically be sued in the county where they are a resident. She did not have to file in the county that signed the original order unless you had moved out of state. She can file in the county where you live, and I would suggest you hire an attorney.
I took NCP to court for contempt of child support and the Judge stated I could only have either the courts handle my case or Child Support Services. He stated that if I want the court to handle it then I have to close my Child Support Services case. Also, to be able to close my Child Support... View More

Should you choose to close your case with the DCSS, it is highly unlikely they are going to refund you any fees or allow any reimbursement. However, it is typically faster and more efficient to hire your own attorney and go through Superior Court than dealing with the DCSS.
My children's dad all of a sudden wants legal rights, my boys are 3 and 6. He has not been consistent with being there for them, making a bond or providing financially.

Your kids are of such a young age that you may not be able to stop the court from allowing the father to legitimize. If he petitions the court for legitimation and asks for visitation, I would hire an attorney.
I have full custody. My divorce decree states that he must pay child support and supervised visitations

My child’s father is not on his birth certificate, and he’s really not all that involved… He does not pay child support and does not visit. The only time he sees him is if I drive eight hours to my hometown to let him. I only moved a month ago and visited once, I put a tracker in my... View More

In the absence of a court custody decree, a child’s father has the exact same legal rights as a child’s mother.
Would you be upset if he was tracking you when the child was with you?

Yes, you need to keep paying it. Child support and parenting time are not connected. If you need help with parenting time, contact an attorney.
There are 3 children born during my marriage. 2 of them are my husband's biological children and 1 was born after we split. It is not my husband's biological child and he has never supported or raised this child in any way. What do I do regarding that child in the divorce process?

You need to speak to an attorney about this. It is possible to note the husband has no responsibility for the other child, but it must be done correctly. Legally, all children born during the marriage are legally the husband's.
