Re: DNA and child support

Generally, child support is only payable from the date of the filing of the motion. There may be other extenuating circumstances which would change this. However, you have not given me enough information to be able to fully answer your question. Since you have not retained an attorney in this case, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice and get proper information so that you can proceed. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
