I would encourage the OP to read these forums and think about the number of parents who wait YEARS for Child Support, if it ever arrives at all.
My child was born in 2002, and I didn't start receiving CS steadily until 2007. That was with a Dad who lived one state away. I can't imagine the delay when dealing with an international child support case. Lots of red tape and hoops to jump through, I'd imagine.
And I'm one of the lucky ones; there are folks here who end up raising their children with zero financial help. You really need to be prepared for the possibility that you will be raising this child with no financial help from Dad. It may not be fair, but that's the reality. Get used to "unfair".
