My daughter is almost (3) years old. Her father has never seen her, or me for that matter, since I told him I was pregnant.
Until now things have been great, but due to this fabulous economy we have here in the U.S., I was recently laid off from my job of 5 years. I found a new job, but am only making 1/2 of what I was making. I have a large student loan payment, plus the usual stuff: daycare, rent, groceries, gas, etc... Lately I am having a hard time making ends meet.
Many people have suggested I try to get some daycare assistance from the government - I don't really want to get government assistance - so the next suggestion is that I go after her father for Child Support.
So, finally, here is my question. Since it has been so long, will I still be able to get the DNA test and get a court order for child support?
Also, realistically, what type of visitation would he be entitled to at that point? I don't really want him in her life, as he has turned into a jerk.
