Re: paterity and child support issues of unwed mother
It sounds like you have never established paternity.
You need to either hire a private attorney or go to the Texas A G's office and get paternity established. Then there will be child support and visitation ordered.
If he disappears, the money owed will continue to grow. If he files income taxes, you will get all his refunds. The Texas A G has wonderful access to locating people trying to "disappear".
If he gets paid in cash, it is still his burden to pay his child support.
The Texas A G will throw him in jail if he does not pay his child support.
God luck!
