What kind of documents can a notary be used for? Will it be held up in court?

Thank you.

Actually now this opens up 100 other issues, how long has the one man been listed as father and where do you live, in some states, after a number of years, the man listed will always be the legal father, even if not the real father and he will be the one liable for child support
*** not fair at all but it is the law in some places in the US.

But almost all places have legal aid soceity that will help you with the court work

But what the heck, if he will actually start paying you if you both sign something and get a notorary on both sign, why not, it will get you paid and you can always take him to court latter

We are in Il. The law here is 2 years old. My son is only 1. I want to get something going in the next few months.

What is legal aid society and how will it help me?

There are groups like this all over the US, that help low income. This is one in central ILL, if you don't live there, you can contact them for a group near you

Thank you for the link. I actually searched the site and the counties it serves are nowhere near where I live. I will call and see if they can direct me in the right direction. Any idea what is considered low income?

Found the income guidelines and I make too much.
