By your statement the father, I'm assuming your not married to him. Go ahead and file for child support.
If y ou are not married, yes, file for child support. Please note that he is paying one half of the rent and electricity and that could be considered support.
You cannot receive child support when you and the father are cohabitating. I'm not sure why the other attorneys told you that you could. You can call Child Support Enforcement to confirm this.
