What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in NV, case is open in CA where the father lives.
I am scheduled to be in court next month for the 1st time in my life! Last year I applied for welfare which required me to put my daughters father on CS, he got served with the papers in March and apparently became very angry because he is now requesting to set aside paternity for my youngest who will be 8 next week. He voluntarily signed her birth certificate when she was born knowing that she was not his and now that he is going to have to pay he wants to terminate his own rights which is understandable to a point although this is the only father my daughter has ever known. Anyway, my question is, do I need to try to get an attorney for this matter? What should I expect to happen in court? Is there any documents that I would need to bring with me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
