Deadbeat Baby Dad???

You can still file for it - and whenever he DOES get a job - they will take the money out of his check and he will have to pay backup childsupport that he missed also. They will also take tax money from him.

I think you should file for child support. Its HIS daughter therefore he should be involved & you letting him. You need to sit down with him face to face & have a nice long talk with him about your baby girl.

If you file for child support he HAS to pay you, especially if it’s court ordered - they’ll take his wages.

He obviously doesn’t want to be a part of your child’s life, so let him go. Your daughter will grow up knowing she has a father out there and will resent him for not being there for her - in the end, he loses.

Just be careful what you say around your daughter, bad-mouthing her father will do no good.

Take him to court and get your child support. You deserve some help with your child financially.

Unfortunatly - you can’t force him to be in her life - and you shouldn’t. If he doesn’t want to be there - forget him. Some people just never get that emotional attatchment that mothers do when they have a child. Some aren’t ready to grow up, give up their old lives, and show responsiblity. You can’t change that and your child should not have to put with broken promises and hurt feelings. If he doesn’t want to be there - keep him away and have him make a choice. You either visit her often or not at all.

If I file him for child support, I don’t think that much will happen being that he doesn’t have a job and his girlfriend supports him. My daughter >>>

well im about to have a baby myself and the father is already not there for me.. hes a deadbeat as well.. im going to file for child support when I have it and I think you shud do the same.. hes not in her life not .. hes not giving you money now.. so filin for child support cud only help the situation.

File for child support. The courts will make him pay. Here in Ohio they can take your license, etc. if you don’t pay. He can’t control whether he pays you or not for the child if you involve child support.

It doesn’t matter if he has a job or not. I have two children that recieve child support and their father does not have a steady job but he still pays 45/weekly just on one kid. Even though I have not recieved anything from him but it is still set in court and if he gets 1000 dollars behind then they will put him in jail.Dead beat dads are fun I’ve delt with one for 3 years now. Good Luck keep your head up!
