msdad said:Wow. didn't mean to cause such an uproar. Yes the child support is court ordered.
angelasdad said:unless you are adjucated by the courts as the father.and have proof that you are the father. you dont have very many rights unless you arelisted on the birth cetifcate
you can also contact the child support agency to start a case on your behalf
the father or a person whobelieves themselves to be the father has a right to file.. this will open a path to court ..you will be ordered to pay support but you will also be notified by the court as your right as the father. you very much need to have the court adjudicated you as the father . contact your family court commissioners office and the child support office to get this going
msdad said:I dont' think you understand. Did you read my first post? My son is 9 years old. I have already paid child support for 8-1/2 years. But I've never made any attempts to see him.
I PROMISE I will not ask another question...after this one. The birth certificate was brought up, and I am not on it, nor did I have my name put on it when my son was proven to be mine. The courts (because of the name change) have a certified copy of that. Would that hinder any future custody hearings? Or (even though I don't think I'll contest) the name change? Because I never demaned my name be put on it?
By the way. You guys throughly made me feel like garbage today. Which I know I should. I think maybe someone was right, that I should talk to a professional to see if my motovations will help or harm my son.
msdad said:I should have stated that, but that is what I meant by a professional. Just talking about it all day is exhausting.
Do you happen to know though about the question on the birth certificate?
