When I was 16 I was pressured by my 20 year old boyfriend to have his baby or he would dump me. As a result I had a multiple pregnancy that resulted in help syndrome kidney failure permanent heart damage and the death of one twin and our surviving baby to be 2.6 pounds at premie birth. Not to mention the severe depression while I was in ICU for 3 months for the hell pregnancy and fighting for my life. I never got the chance to bond with my child. I never received counceling and grew a hate for my boyfriend because nothing happened to him. My life was forever scarred my baby was dead and my child was a reminder of the worst event of my life. We separated and I became pregnant with my second child and once he was born I knew I could never love my first child the way I so easily loved this child. I feel like a monster, like an embarrassment to god, I know I shouldn't be this way but I do. I was 19 years old depressed and going through a financial hardship I left my child in the care of his father and moved out of state. I now am a student and a single mommy to my 2nd child. I am do doing the best I can and itry to put the past behind me. I am being sued for child support I don't mind it and have kind of wondered if this day would come. But if I'm unemployed, a student and receiving financial aid and child care assistance myself will my case be placed on hold until I get a job?

No, the case won't be put on hold. What may happen is the court will award a minimum support. They could, however, put payment on hold.

Most likely no, so much depends on the state, in GA for example, you will be given the min that is allowed if you have no income, Which would be somewhere in the 80 to 100 dollars a month. Some states have min to 40 or 50 a month. In some states, there would be a hearing but no money due till you have earnings

Please get help for your problem. Its not the child's fault what has happened in the past. You need to resolve this issue before it ruins your entire life and follows you with the weighted chains of time.
