I live in Ohio. I became pregnant with another man's child while separated from my husband. I got back together with my husband when I found out I was pregnant. Anyway husband's name was put on birth certificate. Couldn't live with the lie so told my husband baby wasn't his and went to CSEA to have paternity established. After 2 years paternity has finally been established. Other man was proven to be the father. We are now scheduled to appear at a hearing to determine child support. I don't know what to expect. This man is currently married. He is paying child support on another child from a previous marriage. That child will be 18 and graduate from H.S. this year. I know the biological father does some type of sales job from home and that he and his current wife have started their own business which he has made sure is in her name only yet he's the one doing most of the work and has even referred to it as their business. He has known from the beginning that he is the father of our son (even met with me after the child was born so he could see the baby). He has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with our son. I know his exwife is also taking him to court because of owed back support. I understand I should be entitled to back support from the day my son was born and for out of pocket medical expenses I incurred. Is this correct? He has a lawyer. I have a CSEA lawyer representing me. Should I hire my own?
