I doubt it. What's the court date for? Who set it? Usually when a bio dad request visitation or custody he mus also request a paternity test. Without his name on the birth certificate I can't say how the court will justtify that he owes over 20K dollars. Did he know he was the father - did he sign anything stating he was? Need more info to an\swer you.
