My daughter has a child by a guy, they are not married what does she need to do to start getting child support

One way to get child support started is to file a Petition to Establish paternity, custody, visitation and child support. This will address all issues relative to the parties child and establish a time sharing schedule and parental responsibility.  A lawyer can assist in preparing this pleading and filing it on your daughters behalf. The father must be served and will have 20 days to reply. Following this a mediation or court proceeding will take place.  Another option is to file a case through child support enforcement, they will file an action to establish child support, but cannot address visitation, custody, time sharing or parental responsibility.
