If the mother of the child will not allow the father to legitimize the child is he still held responsible for paying child support for this child?
Answer
Yes.
Answer
Yes, you are responsible for paying child support if an order is issued. However, it is unlikely the mother can stop you from legitimating the child if he is yours. File the legitimation petition in the county where the child lives. The judge will determine if legitimation is appropriate. If you are the father, normally, the mother has a high hurdle to jump to prevent legitimation. If you think there is going to be a fight, you might consider hiring an attorney.
