Re: financial responsibilities
It's difficult to answer your question, frankly because of the jumbled way you stated it. You might want to resend your question, using more clearly worded language.
If your ex is proven to be the child's father, he is responsible for paying child support. Md uses guidelines based on the parents' income to determine the amount each must contribute to the support of the child. As for alimony, apparently you didn't seek it when you were divorced so it's now too late to do so.
