What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
G currently lives in Georgia for the past 10 years. He had a few intimate encounters with a woman 16 years ago who told him she was pregnant. When he went to visit the woman after the baby was born, a man answered the door and said he was the live-in boyfriend. Later his wages were attached for child support. G never acknowledged paternity in writing and did nothing to dispute it until several years later.
In 2009, G contacted the child support caseworker. The caseworker stated he was not named on the birth certificate as the father. He questioned why he was being forced to pay child support when he is not listed as the father on the birth certificate and never acknowledged the child. Collections ceased.
Yesterday, the county police stopped a relative driving his car to inform them G has a warrant for unpaid child support in NJ.
Should G have been served regarding the warrant ? In other words, can a motion to set aside the warrant be filed since he never received notice ?
Also, how does G go about having the courts determine paternity ? What would he file ?
Thank you for your assistance.
