Cover your self and your child NOW
Yes file the state is your Atty acting in your behalf
Yes you should file.
do not wait file today he can take him if he wants
Honestly if the only father your son has ever known is his step dad. I’d cancel the request for child support, and have the biological father sign his rights away. And have your current husband adopt him. It’s not worth it for the little bit of money you’d get from the bio dad to drag out the situation and maybe be forced to send your son to spend time with a man he hardly knows. Just move on as a family with your current husband becoming his legal father. If the bio dad wanted anything to do with your son he would have made himself a permanent figure in your son’s life long before now.

Wait a minute, you want him to pay child support but also relinquish all rights? I agree with you initially - ask him what he wants his role to be. I suspect he will voluntarily give up rights or best case scenario your son will know 2 fathers. But, to sue for sole custody is unfair to the father & child
You are not married that makes you the custodial parent the court can’t give you advice they are not allowed to did he sign the birth certificate if not don’t let him you don’t need to go to court for custody and don’t let him visit the child it might be what you feel is right but if has made no attempt don’t confuse the child cause they will make you send him to another state my daughter works for support trust Me cut all ties and just get your support and concentrate on the good life you are making for him dump his scabby ass
Better to file and get it official than some crazy shit happens. Technically that kid is his too, and should he so choose, totally in his rights to come get him.
I wouldn’t bother. The dad doesn’t give a shit and hasn’t been bothered since day 1 it sounds like. I went through this. I walked away and raise my daughter on my own. I struggle but I still do it
If you want $$$ from the dad then he has a right to see his son unless he has done something to prove he is unfit. You aren’t likely to get $$$ and no visitation. If you don’t need the money drop the child support case and sue for some legal and physical custody.
If he has not shown any interest, he might not now. Still pursure to get some money from him. He is responsible for his upbringing. Is he so bad that you could not do a visit with your son. How has been with his own life? Job, family, stability. People do grow and change.
The child support is not worth the worry. I wouldn’t do it. Yeah if the dad had been around I would encourage the relationship. If it’s been years and he’s shown no interest when he has to pay that money he will have rights I’m sure. You should expect him to see your child and that will probably come with worry. I mean if he’s a nice person and your child will be looked after that’s a different story. If I could go back years ago… I would never have filed it. I mean who doesn’t want their child to have a relationship with the other parent. That’s always a good thing. Even though I filed for it getting it is a different thing. I was harassed… went through hell every other weekend. Was bullied. I mean you want the other parent to know who their parents are but in that kind of situation may not be worth it. I wouldn’t worry about it. The money isn’t worth it.
