You are late. A judgment may have already been entered against you. Suggest you retain counsel to protect your rights. Good luck.

Re: child supoort

Service may have been done at your mother's because you gave that address as yours at some point of because you couldn't be found elsewhere. You did have to respond. If a default judgment has been entered, you can motion to set it aside for the reasons you gave here and go from there.
