Re: child support
You can choose to not be involved with regard to visitation, but if the child is yours, you will be required to pay child support for the child. There is no way to avoid it unless the child is adopted by someone else. If you didn't want to pay support, you had the opportunity to avoid it before you had sex with the mother.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
