Get a job and get a lawyer. You may have grounds to present to the court to excuse your failure to appear, but there is no way to do this with any likelihood at all of success without legal representation. If you want to get out of 21 years of child support because the child is not yours, you need to come up with some money now to do so. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.
I agree with Jay, you need a lawyer to at least assist you in determining whether the child is yours. Perhaps your father can assist you financially.
