Thank you to all that responded. I'm not trying to get out of paying child support at all. IF the child is mine, I accept all responsibilities. But, from the time she was 2 months, the mother didn't let me even see her. Only to say, that I COULD see her if I brought her some drugs. I refused to do that. Since CPS is involved in their lives, She doesn't have total custody. She did inform me that the child has a new "daddy" in her life. Living 500 hundred miles away from them, its difficult for me to know what to do. I had at one time, thought I would take custody of the child but, knowing that I'm only 20 and still living with parents because of having epilepsy, it wouldn't be a wise Ideal. I'm not financially able to take care of this child. The relationship between the mother and I ended a long time ago, and like I said before she has since found someone else. I know I made a mistake by signing the birth certificate, not knowing for sure if the child was mine, but at the time, hoping she was. There are 4 other possible fathers. So, I guess what first needs to be done, Is a paternity test, and then go on from there.
Thank You all.
