He/she lives with/married to someone now. Does her/his income count?
Generally, no. • He/she just had another child, but my child(ren) was born first. Shouldn’t my child get more money? Not necessarily. The child support guidelines permit credit to be given if the obligor is supporting other children of his own. It doesn’t matter which children were born first. • What if he says he’s not the father of my child(ren)? If the person you identified as the father denies paternity, he can request that genetic blood tests be performed. You, your child, and he will be given an opportunity to voluntarily participate in genetic blood testing at our expense. An appointment will be scheduled to take blood samples from each of you under highly supervised conditions at the Child Support Enforcement(OCSE). • What if the father fails to voluntarily appear for the blood test? If the parties fail to cooperate, the court will order genetic testing and blood samples taken on a specific date from both parents and the child(ren). The test takes place at Office of Child Suppo
