I live in Michigan and have a four year old son. His father and I were never married, nor have we ever lived together. He was not involved with my son until he was nearly three (save a few brief visits). I encouraged a regular visitation schedule which he didn't hold to very well. My question is; if I file for child support now, will it be retroactive to the date of birth? He has never paid any support and I have not filed anything with the courts as of this time. Also, my son receives Social Security as the father is disabled. Does that negate child support. I asked my $170 per hour lawyer this and she didn't know!!! I do know that this man's ex-wife received child support and SSI. I told my lawyer this after she said I couldn't get support because of the SSI and she responded with, "Oh, really.." Anyone know the REAL answer?
