HOW CAN I GET CHILD SUPPORT FROM SOMEONE WHO HIDES HIS INCOME?

QUESTION: I want my child to receive financial support, however I am hesitant to go about doing so because the father is self-employed and has no proof of income. He does not keep money in the bank for his personal reasons. Would this even be worth bringing to the court? Can he not easily lie about assets and income, anyway?

MY RESPONSE: Contact your local public Child Support Agency (in Los Angeles, that would be the Child Support Services Dept.) and request that they obtain Child Support from the father. That way, you don't incur attorney's fees that you would incur if you hired a private Family Law Attorney to file and prosecute a Paternity case to seek Child Support from the father.
