I am looking for information my case is that I have a child under 2 years of age

Q) I am looking for information my case is that I have a child under 2 years of age He was born in Matamoros Tamaulipas. HE was imprisoned in Texas and could not register the child now recently we are not in a couple and already left prison but I want to make him recognize his paternity only that I can not find how since the man can not cross to Mexico and my son needs his economic support and medical attention I still do not have a paper that says that the child has autism but has a delay in his speech

A) There are a few things you can do to try to get the father of your child to recognize his paternity.

Contact the father and ask him to sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity. This document will establish him as the legal father of your child and will give him the rights and responsibilities that come with fatherhood.

If the father refuses to sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity, you can file a paternity lawsuit in court. The court will order the father to take a DNA test to establish paternity. If the test results are positive, the court will order the father to provide financial support for your child.

You can also contact the Mexican Consulate in Texas. They may be able to help you file a paternity lawsuit in Mexico.

If your son has autism, he may be eligible for Social Security benefits. You can find more information about Social Security benefits for children with disabilities on the Social Security Administration website.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
