please help if you can.

I am on the birth certificate, legally no, I have never had a chance to go to court to fight for him.

I am not an expert in this area, but I believe your child may be eligible for benefits. This would certainly help mom raise your child.

You're incorrect.

If YOU read what ISIS typed instead of being blinded by your own anger at your situation, you would get it.

don't you have anything better to do?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? west virginia

I received a notice in the mail today from a child support collections agency. I have never received any notice before to pay child support, or any kind of court order.

Have you moved recently? Is there some way in which you could have missed a court date?

I want custody of my son, but he is in a different state, his custodial parent moved and does not talk to me.

There are separate legal remedies for this type of situation.

How can I defend myself against this?
Do I have to get defense in the state it came from?

Yes, absolutely you need defense/help in that state, not yours.

I'm on disability, and have had many credit checks apparently this has been going on for a while and I owe around 9000 dollars, how do I remove that or get that lowered?

Depends upon how it goes when you protest the judgement.

Can I use this as an opportunity to see my son?

Depends upon whether or not you find him and file in court for a visitation schedule. Are you legally the father already?

I received an emailed threat from my mother saying she would report me if I didn't stop contact from my sister, so she knew about this and didn't report me before or say anything to me. Can I do something about this as well?

Do you think your mother got your service notice and kept the fact from you?

Than help people like you?

Yes, I do.

If you want help, I strongly suggest you not get snarky. Otherwise you can take your $20M debt and put it where the sun don't shine.

It ticks the volunteers off when you come pleading for help and get pissy with us.

 

[mech1804088]

there seems to be a huge misunderstanding I don't have a problem paying for my child, the problem I have is that I want to see him and raise him and I can't, I was asking how I could, and if I cant see and raise him how do I defend myself. That was all I was asking.

I am not an expert in this area, but I believe your child may be eligible for benefits. This would certainly help mom raise your child.

SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) = Benefits available for the child
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) = No benefits available for the child.

 

[mech1804088]

silver plum i moved, but what im not getting is that the social security administration updates my status every time i do so, I could be homeless and my social security number will still be checked every time a change is made. Thank you very much, I'm guessing I will have to move to TN. I am on the birth certificate, however if the agency has my address they will have theirs

 

[Antigone*]

SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) = Benefits available for the child
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) = No benefits available for the child.

Thank you for the clarification.

whether you help or not it still doesn't give anyone a right to be rude or offensive

do i have to call too? thank you for answering

Not on SSI. If OP were receiving SSDI, then there are dependent benefits available.

Then you file a petition in the county of the child's residence asking for visitation time. You will have to follow Tennessee's Civil court's policies and procedures for proper service to Mom, etc etc.

Defend yourself from what? Paying CS?

 

[Proserpina]

The other big difference:

SSDI = can be garnished for CS.

SSI = cannot be garnished for CS.


It does come across as if OP is asking that if he can't raise the child himself, can he get out of child support?
