    Child support
    My dauther was living with her boyfriend in boston ma .she is two months pregnant and her boyfriend ended there engagement and move in with his parents he 36 my daughter wants to move back to georigia were I and her dad live we are willing to have her and the baby live with us while she completes nursing school after the baby is born. Her boyfriend claims he was told by a lawyer that he will not have to pay child support if she moves here is this true he claims it has to do with visatation rights why does she have stay in the state he in ? She has more faimly support here. And can get grants that Georgia offers for her nursning degree. When the baby is a little older she has know problem with spliting the cost to travel to boston. He also has told he welcome to stay here for free no holtels if he would like. Thank you .

    She can file and receive child support regardless of where she lives. Who told her that, the boyfriend? No lawyer would say that so he's just making it up hoping she will fall for it. He's just trying to dodge paying it. She will have to have a DNA test ordered by the Court to establish his paternity if he does not sign the birth certificate and then once that is done he will have to pay child support.

    As far as visitation goes, if he wants to see the child he will have to file for visitation himself. She does not have to split the cost of travel for the child to travel unless the Court so orders it.

    The boyfriend is lying, Normally if she moves before the child is born, there is little he can do, He could have course file in court and try to force the child back to his state, but often if she moves early in the pregnancy, it does not work.
    And normally the boyfriend does not do that anyway.

    She can still file for child support, there is no connection to visits and support at all.

    This is one of the many threats you can expect boyfriend to make, That is common, the other is that if she tries to get child support he will file and get custody of the child. That is another very common threat men that don't want to pay support will use
