If there are no prior court orders regarding child support you should immediately go to court and seek child support from the father. Then he will have to show what his sources of income are or should be, i.e. what is his level of education, prior job history, work experience. While you can file a petition for child support with the court, it is a good idea to seek legal counsel or at least some legal advice first.
