Partner wants rid of me and his child
So me and my partner of 2 years, ( fiancé for almost 1) have an 11 month soon to be 12 month old. He’s been going through really bad depression as of lately, and now out of the blue he’s told me he wants nothing to do with me or our child, that we bring him down and he is leaving and never coming back. He originally asked me and our kid to leave ( bear in mind I moved away from my family to be with him so I have nobody of my own around here) but then he said he will. Can I make him may child support, what if he refuses? I don’t know what to do, I’m a stay at home mum, I can’t continue living with my ex mum in law but I can’t afford to go anywhere else?????🥺

I can’t say much for the living situation but I know where I live you can file for child support for 50ish dollars.
Since you aren’t together yes, I actually think even if you were still married you could file for child support. The important thing is you don’t let him sign over his rights. Once he does that there’s nothing you can do.
Also if you can try to move back home. You may have to sell a lot to make moving less but at least you would be back with your family.
Maybe you can contact your family whom you moved away from and ask for support. You could also look into a women’s shelter if it came down to it. As for child payments; he is completely obligated to provide you with the necessary financial assistance being the father of your child. Any court system would rule that. Hang in there.
