What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
My son's biological father established paternity and child support. He did not seek legal rights or rights for visitation. He was injured in an offshore accident receiving 85% burn to his body. Several oil field companies settled with his father. My son's father (we never married) stated that my son was not entitled to any of the money because we were never married. The oil company set up money for his other son(he was married at this time) because they were married. The attorney for the oil company said my son was not entitled because his father was not on the birth certificate. But- paternity was established several years before he was injured and before the accident. Is this true?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
