Signing off parental rights and child support?
Ok, first to start off, if you think I'm a dead beat dad then go ahead.Im just asking what if and what will i do. There was this girl who wanted to get with me, but I never wanted to. One night I became very drunk and we did something(yea yea, blame it on the alcohol). Then 2 weeks later she was pregnant when i thought she was taking birth control pills after tripping about me and her having sex. I know its mine for many factors which i don't want to explain. We talk about abortion cause we are still young( 23 and 22 yrs old). Then she said she would do it if I broke up with my current girlfriend in another state and if I were to tell all my friends. But no it didn't happen. I know girls have their excuses for not having abortion. Now its been 6months and i found out the only reason she kept it is because she wants me to be with her and shes using the child to get me closer to her everyday. I told her couple days ago that I don't want to be with her no matter what happens and that me and my girlfriend will be getting married one of these days(yes, my girlfriend knows the whole situation). I want to sign off parental rights and I know she will file for child support no doubt about it. She wants to ruin my life and if you are a girl reading this I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. I hate myself for what happen and became kinda suicidal about the whole thing before. She treats me like we were married or even together as a couple(she stalks me, tries to find out what I've been doing, and makes me feel bad for her). I respect ladies ok and Ive never treat them bad.I'm a good guy, but this girl just makes my life a hell everyday. I live in washington state, now besides telling me to get a lawyer,"shouldve kept it in my pants" blah blah blah, can someone give me real advise about signing off parental rights and what are MY RIGHTS and what can I use against her in court to lower child support. This is really getting out of hand. And to the women who read this, I'm sorry, but I know I sound like a dead beat dad, I never wanted to be one, its just the person who became pregnant was someone i didnt want a family with and shes REALLY CRAZY even other girls i know are on my side about this.Thanks...
Can i get put on child support if i didn't sign the birth certificate?
The mother can wait up to 23 years to name you as the father, and ask for up to 18 years of retroactive child support, so you better file now to make sure you are the father and set up a voluntary order. http://dads-house.org/Paternity-WhatMenNeed2Know
If you found out a child you have been paying child support for years is NOT yours (Wife lied), do you still have to pay? Can you sue?
I can answer for Nevada, which is where I live. At the hospital, when your kids are born, there's quite a lot of paperwork to be signed. I know you're tired; you've been awake dealing with several hours of labor, then the little baby comes out and you just don't wanna sleep because he/she is so adorable you don't want to miss a single moment. Mommy is hurting and tired and needs attending to, and Daddy is (or should be) doing the attending. You have waves and waves of visitors stopping by to congratulate you, and several doctors and nurses are bothering you every 10 minutes to take vitals and such.But you really need to pay attention to that paperwork you're signing.One of the forms they have the father sign is a waiver of genetic testing. You have the right, at the hospital right there and then, to a DNA test to verify that you are the father. But if you sign the form waiving your right to this test, you're on the hook. The form essentially states that you acknowledge your right to a paternity test, and you are waiving this right with the full knowledge that you will be responsible for this child even if you later find out he/she is not yours. You will be on the hook for child support. Take the test. Especially if you have doubts.If you sign the form, you have 60 days to change your mind. After that, the kid is yours. For better or worse.I'm sorry about your situation. Hopefully others here can learn from it.
Does my baby's father HAVE to pay child support?
Since you have assistance from the government, you do not have the option to not cooperate for child support. You must cooperate or you lose your free insurance cuz that is how the government does it. You don't get money from the tax payers and money from the father. You get one or the other. The government is not blind to all the fraud people commit to get assistance. Don't think you can lie and it won't catch up with you. They have heard it all and can smell a lie before you even open your mouth. Why would you not fill in all the information on your child's birth certificate? This is not yours. You don't have a right to deny her that information. What happens when she is grown and she asks for her birth certificate and that space is blank? Eta : Reading all the other responses, I am sorry my taxes go to support so many women who willingly lie. We all have bills and families to support.

Child support to be paid if not on birth certificate...?
Did she say that out of spite? I don't think your boyfriend should risk it. He should have been officially notified but since he wasn't, he should go down to the court house and check it out. His ex could well have given them a wrong address hoping that he wouldn't show up and she could get a default ruling in her favor. And when he goes to that hearing in January (if there is one), tell your boyfriend to demand a dna paternity test to confirm that he actually is the father. As for time frame, she has up to 18 years after the birth of the child to go after child support. And if she doesn't do it but files for government benefits, the government will go after the money themselves. And the father's name doesn't have to be on the birth certificate either for the mother to file for child support. All that matters is a) a court order declaring paternity (possibly through default), b) voluntarily acknowledgment of paternity (don't let him do that), or c) a dna paternity test confirming fatherhood. Also, in some states, the mother can put a man's name on the birth certificate without the man's consent but in others, she needs his consent. You would have to check state law to know whether this is legal where you live. And your boyfriend has no right to refuse to take a dna paternity test. If he does, he may find himself declared to be the legal father anyway so it is best he find out the truth. If he was very lucky, the woman cheated on him and that child is someone else's and then he wouldn't have to pay child support. Your boyfriend also can't just say the kid isn't his unless he can prove it. Finally, the chance that your boyfriend will get custody of a child he has never even seen is zero. The only way he can get custody is if she was a crack-addicted hooker or if he can PROVE abuse or neglect. And just because you hear that the mother goes out and leaves the child home doesn't mean it is true. She could have a baby sitter that you know nothing about. And it doesn't matter that you and your boyfriend only want to pay if he gets custody. If that baby is your boyfriend's, he will have to pay or he will be punished by the courts. That could mean the loss of his driver's license or he could end up in jail. The choice is his. Good luck.
If the father of a child does not sign the birth certificate, is he still obligated to pay child support?
My boyfriend just got a call from his ex saying that she is pregnant. He has never wanted kids and especially not right now since we are in college. He has tried to convince her that it would be a mistake to have the child since they are both so young but if that does not work, would he still be obligated to pay child support for a baby that he doesn't want any part of? If he doesn't sign the birth certificate can she put him on there anyway? She lives in Utah and we live in Wyoming so which state would it go through?
