What if your husband and you have lived apart for past 3 years you are pregnant from your boyfriend Can you get child support from your husband or boyfriend?

Please don't be a chickenhead and put the child off on your husband,you know its your boyfriends. Just because your still married to your husband doesn't give you the right to do that to him,he can go to court and prove that you and he haven't lived together for three years and the DNA testing of the child wil prove all this. Make the boyfriend be more responsible and be a man and take care of his child. Remember the child support is not yours,it belongs to the child for things she/he needs. And if you receive AFDC,it is also for the child.

How do you accept a child from your husband's affair into your family?

If your husband made one mistake in having an affair and has not cheated before that or after the affair then the child is part of him and also the biological mother. You have two options: #1 You can accept the child when and if he has custody of the child and make that child part of the whole family or #2 let him see his child if he wants too (he at least should pay child support) but see the child away from home. The decision will have to be discussed between you and your husband.

Can you get child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?

Do you mean, can you collect child support from another man, even though your husband assumed legal parentage by signing the child's birth certificate? Generally, no, not easily anyway. This issue, and the related laws, is complex with no clear uniformity in the United States. In most states, Equitable Paternity is the rule of law, meaning any child born of the marriage is the child of the husband by default. Depending on the laws in the state where you reside, you may have to get your husband's name removed from the birth certificate, revoking the legitimacy of the child, then get the bio father into court via a summons for a court ordered paternity test, then if/when parentage is established, go after the bio father for child support. In doing so, you will (or should anyway) also hammer out a custody agreement allowing the bio dad visitation and decision making rights in your child's life. It's also highly unlikely the courts would order retroactive child support for the period of time your husband was providing financial support for the child. You really need the advice from an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence to discuss your options and how it can be done, and even if it can be done.


There is a judgment agenst you and your ex husband you have no money coming in except child support from your exhusband can they take your child support and also would they take his money b4 mine?

Child support is not subject to garnishments. If your ex husband has a job, they will garnish his wages and can also garnish a tax refund check from the state or federal government. If you do not pay your half of the debt, and your ex is garnished for your portion as well as his, he can counter sue you for the portion that is your responsibility. A judge can change your child support order, and make it not payable until the garnishment is satisfied. Sounds like you need a job, and need to pay your bills.
