I suggest you contact your county's bar association, discuss this with them, and ask for a referral to a lawyer in family practice.
ANSWER
This depends on your prep and circumstances. According to a Missouri Presiding Judge who wrote Dear Abby about it, in 60% cases where the father has a good to even chance of winning, he will be accused of child sexual abuse. With the use of false allegations, a father can spend $50,000+

If I have my child as much or more than my ex should I have to pay child support?
If your ex is the custodial parent then you are required to pay child support however if you have joint custody the order could change drastically. If you have your child as much as your ex and you dont have joint custody appointed by the court then you should file for it to reduce your payments.

How can a relative get custody of a child who is being neglected?

My daughter's mom dropped her off with me over 5 years ago. We dropped child support no change was made to legal custody. What should I do to ensure that I have legal and physical custody?
You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order. It would go much easier if the child's mother would consent to the petition for custody.You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order.

If you have joint custody then you should see legal counsel. Other arrangements must be made so you still have visitation rights of your child. Perhaps, if you agree, you could ask for your child during special holidays, etc. If you don't have joint custody (she has full custody) there isn't much you can do.

Why didn't the court order child support if you have primary physical custody?
If you have primary physical custody you are entitled to support. How much support is figured in a formula based on how much money each of you makes and how many days (or overnights) each of you has time with the child. Depending on the state, if the child stays with the other parent over a certain set amount of time, then that parent is responsible to pay less child support. Most states are trying to push joint physical custody where the child spends 1/2 to 2/3 of the time with the primary caretaker and the rest with the other parent.
