Best Answer

You should speak to a social worker at the Family Court in your area. Go down to the court and speak to someone at the desk at the court. Tell them about your situation and that your mother has not been willing to pursue a child court order in the past. You are entitled to support from your father. Perhaps the court could help you get some support from him that you can use toward college expenses. You must obtain a court order for support so you need advice from the court on how you can proceed.

impossible Since the purpose of child support is to support a child, it cannot be waived by the child's mother. The child has to be supported, whatever opinion the mother may have about it. So no, that would not be a valid agreement. If a man fathers a child, he is liable for child support.
