    You have to prove who thew father is. Then you have to go to court and get a court order to garnish wages if he does not pay voluntarily. This is easy to do when a child is involved. If you have collected any type of welfare the court will attach his bank account if they know where it is.

    Prove the father is the child,s biological, other wise you will have to work support yourself and child.Also you will get child allowance (family allowance)which is around I think $100.00 a month. (or go on welfare) I would suggest you do it on your own.

    I agree, the have good answers. You do have to prove beyond the shasow of a doubt that he is the father. Use Identigene. The will take a DNA sample and prove he is or is nOT the father. This will hold up in court. Then go to DES and submitt a request for maintenance. I found most of my information at the site below if you are interested.
