Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Child support

I have been contacted by a lady that I had a one night stand with over 10 years ago. She claims that I am the father of her son. Can she sue me for back childsupport or get granted childsupport going forward?

Re: Child support

If you are determined to be the father, you may very well be ordered to pay child support and that child support obligatin could be made retroactive to the date you are served with the legal pleadings. I would strongly suggest that you hire an attorney to represent you and to help you set up DNA testing to determine paternity. If you are the father you will also be entitled to some custody rights, both legal and physical.
