Re: child support

The only people responsible for the child after divorce are the legal parents. if you aren't on the birth certificate and you have not legally adopted him, then I can think of no basis for a judge ordering it. By the same token, you have no rights to visitation. Spousal support could be a different story and is dependent on several factors. Contact me if you have further questions.
