Re: Child Support
You should probably call a lawyer. To get child support, you need to file an action with the court requesting it. It is a mathematical formula based on the parties incomes.... and sometimes, potential incomes.

When there is reason to believe that there will be problems with a child's parent staying in that child's life in the future and helping to support that child, it is best to work through the court system to get an order of support.
