The father of my one year old denies that she is his daughter. He moved to canada and got married, I live in the U.S. How do I get a paternity test to make him pay child support? He refuses to take a DNA test. Also, if he does pay child support - how much would it be? Would that could as my earned income if I apply to other state programs to help?

Back in 2003 I was contacted by Dakota County of Minnesota to take a paternity test to determine child support obligations for the child in question. I was determined to be the father and met with an attorney that help set up mediations for me and the mother to determine an amount of 0/month for support. Medical was not included in that amount… I was ordered to take care of that as well.

I have never missed a payment and the amount is now up to 0/month with the cost of living adjustments and medical is now included. I have been out of work and on unemployment for over a year now and the amount is really starting to make things very difficult for me.

Since the law of 2007 that states that both parents’ income is to be factored in the basic child support obligation, would anyone know if it would be worth having this amount recalculated? The mother currently makes about ,000/year. When I do get a job, it will more than likely be for a similar amount of money.

Please help

Thank you!

(I have used the child support calculator that the Department of Human Services provide on their website, but it seems unclear as it says I would only be obligated to pay ?? That doesn’t seem right.)

The mother has 100% of the parenting time and we have joint custody.

I live in Texas and I need to know of a way to get a cheap divorce. Mediation is not going to work because I do not want to be in the same room as him. He is very dangerous and I fear for my life if I ever see him. We have no children together, no land, homes or cars. We have nothing together but debt that is all in my name and I am willing to take care of the debt myself to make an easier divorce. I just want out and away from him as soon as possible. I will add that he continues to say he should have custody of my son which is not his son and I have a paternity test from the father and the father pays child support. So let me know any advice you can give me please. I know every state is usually different so just a reminder I do live in Texas.

I had a affair behind my wife’s back. My ex-mistress has filed for child support and medical support (1 year old son will be on my health insurance). Paternity test came back positive. Is there any way to keep the child support and medical support a secret from my wife? I’m not ready to tell her yet!

My fiance and his ex have a daughter together. My fiance has never had rights to his daughter because the mother won’t let him see her and his name isn’t on the birth certificate. We filed for shared parenting and a paternity test is scheduled for April 29th. The magistrate guaranteed that he will receive his rights once she has that test. At the court date she was not at all impressed with his ex and made it clear to her. As a result the ex has deleted all her internet contact (email, myspace, facebook) and refuses to talk to my fiance. He tried to talk to her boyfriend to get her messages, but her boyfriend just blocked him. So now, apparently, she wants the contact to be between me and her boyfriend. Which makes no sense, but thats beside the point. I’ve found an attorney who will draft the plan for a low fee and my fiance and I are offering to pay the entire fee if his ex and her boyfriend will cooperate in agreeing to the terms. That way we won’t have mediation or more court dates. We can just give it to the magistrate, tell her we’ve all agreed, and then file it. That will be the end. I think that this is more than fair of us to do, but I don’t know if they’ll agree to it or not. How would you expect someone to react in this situation? Will they take it badly, or do you think they’ll see reason and take advantage of our offer?
None of us are financially well off, but his daughter means a lot so thats why we’re offering to pay the whole fee.

Second, we know its his daughter. Everyone knows its his daughter, but we have to get it legally established.
I agree, I don’t think that these discussions should be taking place between myself and her boyfriend! I even mentioned that at the end of my last email. I asked that she reply to my fiance and said that I think the current form of communication is ridiculous. However, my fiance is an incredibly loving man. He NEVER wanted to be out of his daughter’s life and he’ll do anything to be her daddy. We’re both working insane hours to the point that we barely see each other to make sure that we can pay our bills and afford all these fees for his daughter.
