What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I have two mutual friends that has a son (but they are not together anymore). The father of the son was just found to be the father through a paternity test. They knew already, but she had to do the paternity test because she is on food stamps.
The mother doesn't actually want the father to pay child support, she just wants him to babysit so she can work. When they go back to court can she say she doesn't want him to pay child support or is the state just going to go after him anyways?
Any ways to make it so they can't go after him? Can he give up parental rights? Can my friends new husband adopt said child? If they have joint custody will they expect one to pay child support? (The child lives with the mother full time.)
Thank you.
