YES ... but if you sighed the berth certificate then you' ll have a fight on your hands the court will see it as you recognizing that you took up the responsibility of raising the child and there for must pay in the up keep of the child...
Liens are placed to collect unpaid, past-due support. It is likely that you will still owe that unpaid support even if/when the courts determine that you are not the father.
Yes. First paternity must be established legally.If paternity is established through the court ordered DNA test the mother can request child support for the time during which no child support was paid by the father prior to the DNA test.
The court must determine paternity before entering an order for support. However, paternity is assumed if the parents were married when the child was conceived/born. Paternity may also be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity, or by the father's failure to cooperate in genetic testing.
Paternity must be established before support is established. Paternity may be established by the father's acknowledgment of paternity in open court.
Yes, if/when paternity is established.
Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
Support cannot be determined until paternity is determined; however, keep in mind that if the parents were married at the child's birth/conception, the husband is presumed to be the father.
If the court has established a child support order, violating the order and refusing to pay child support carries penalties up to and including jail time. If the order was established before a paternity test can be taken, you must still pay the child support. If the paternity test reveals that you are not the father, you will be reimbursed for the child support that you paid.
