Hi, Im pregnant and would like to contact the suspected Father of my child in regards to the Child Support
Q) Hi, Im pregnant and would like to contact the suspected Father of my child in regards to the Child Support process and where he would begin. He did mention a couple of months ago that he was willing to pay child support but nothing else. I want to establish Paternity first and foremost. However I believe he recently moved to another state and I was wondering if there was a way he could send his DNA sample after the baby is born to the Court recommended Testing Lab near me in Aurora, IL.
A) I recommend you contact your Court recommended Testing Lab and ask them what is their procedure on getting the DNA sample from the Father of your child if he is located in another State.
Your child support payments can be changed only by a court’s modification order. The modification process can increase or decrease payments. The ways you can lower child support payments will vary by circumstance. You will need to convince a court that the financial situation of one or both of the parents has changed substantially generally. To lower your payments, you will need to file a motion in court to modify your child support payments. Most courts have pre-printed “fill in the blank” motion forms You will need to file this motion in the court that issued the initial child support order.
