Single mamas need to stop negotiating things with irresponsible Dads. They need to let the justice decide and if he doesn’t pay what’s his responsibility go to jail or pay an expensive fee.
If you cannot afford a good lawyer, reach out to the Child Support Office in your state. These offices are designed to help parents establish, enforce, and collect child support payments without the need for a private attorney. Additionally, many states offer Legal Aid Services that provide free or low-cost legal assistance for those with limited financial resources. You can start by searching for your state’s Child Support Enforcement agency online or visiting LawHelp.org to find legal aid services in your area. They can guide you through the process and ensure your rights and your child’s needs are protected.
You didn’t have this child on your own! The child is his too, and so is the responsibility. If he doesn’t want to be present, you can’t force him—but he MUST provide the financial support you and your child need. Hire a lawyer to ensure he is legally required to pay you a set amount monthly. If he doesn’t comply, contact the Child Support Enforcement Office. Legally compel him to fulfill his obligation. You don’t have to carry this burden alone. Carrying your child, giving birth, and taking on the majority of their care and education is already more than enough. Stand up for your rights—you and your child deserve it!
