My son is now 24. from the time he was 2 until he was 13 I have tried to get his father to take a DNA test so that CS could be established.
2 states and 4 different counties later he NEVER appeared for any hearing was never declared the father by default therefore no CS.
He would LOVE to go to college and he should but we cannot afford it.
Its not about me having supported him alone his whole life, but about his father contributing something to him.
He knows about our son, but has never seen him.
THis may sound awful (not MAY sound, Does sound awful).
But he hasn't given son anything He OWES him this.
And any idea if I can go after any of the counties involved who simply dropped the issue when he didn't reply to their letters, or show for hearings?
Thanks
It depends.Since your son is 24 he is not eligible for cs anymore.What state are you in?
Plus, most states SOL on paternity testing (unless it's voluntary). By relying on the state you pretty much get what you paid for...nuttin' or close to nuttin...and that goes for custodial & non custodial alike.
