Re: Child support
Sure you can file for support. If his name is not on the baby's birth certificate then paternity will have to be established first. ONce you file for support he may then file for custody/visitation. But as long as you have physical custody and if you are granted legal custody in the future, you will be considered the custodial parent and therefore can file for support.
