More details to this question:
My daughter’s father is what I would call a dead beat. He only see's my daughter twice a month. He does not help with school or day to day activities and he definitely does not help financially. I recently considered filing for child support but was told that I shouldn't.

Not necessarily. People obligated to pay child support (payor) often make more money than the person receiving child support (payee). This is especially true when the payee has more than 50% custody. It is all determined by the PA child support guidelines.
