QUESTION: My boyfriend has a 6 year old child, as of now he pays 200 a month to his ex. He is not on the birth certificate and never sees the child and has no bond with the child. He can barely make ends meet. If he gives up all rights to the child, does he still have to pay child support?
MY RESPONSE: Yes. The law doesn't allow a father to abandon his child financially. In fact, if he has no visitation or custody, his child support will be higher than it would be if he had some visitation or custody, since child support is based on each party's income and the custodial timeshare.
