More details to this question:
I'm an unwanted single mother to a 2year old little girl. Her sperm donor has never acknowledged her nor paid ANYTHING since her birth. I NEVER asked to bein this situation and have exhausted all my amicable resources. I'm over the verge of loosing my home, and possibly sanity if I don't get some type of help in raising her. I didn't create her on my own! I'm very frustrated and disappointed we couldn't get on board with things. Please help!!! Gov assistance isn't nowhere enough to cover half expenses

Child Support laws exist to help custodial parents obtain support from non custodial parents.  It has not been criminal for almost 50 years, but civil.  That means that only you can seek to obtain support which you would do through the Domestic Relations Office of your county.  If you are receiving cash assistance, welfare will take any support up to the amount of your cash payment. However, simply because DRO exists as a method of obtaining an Order for child support, doesn’t mean he will pay it.  Ultimately, he can be held in contempt for failure to pay a support order and incarcerated until he does pay, but that obviously doesn’t assure he will pay. I hope this has been helpful, but feel free to call or email me on a free initial basis.   Best Regards,   Matthew R.
