CAN I GET CHILD SUPPORT IF THE FATHER IS IN JAIL?

QUESTION: My son's father is in jail and more than likely he's not going to get out. Can I get child support? Is there a way that I can get some assistance for my son?

MY RESPONSE: If you can't prove that the father has the ability and opportunity to work while in jail, you won't be able to get an order for child support.

You might try to qualify for some sort of public assistance under your circumstances.
