More details to this question:
The mother of the child has a lawyer, who is telling her that I can be held for abandonment among other things. I have looked around and can find no free legal assistance, so I don't know how best to defend myself.

I always inform prospective clients if they owe child support, cannot afford support, etc., it is best not to find a way to hire a lawyer for court because you are now paying a lawyer what you could be paying for your children. You do not say how long you have gone without supporting the child, nor why you have not done so to-date. Those two questions may make all the difference in the answer you will receive.
