Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
child support
Ihave a child that is 14 yrs old,she is severely mentally handicapped. Her mother and I were never married, we did not hve a paternity test,but I assumed responsibility, with child support and insurance. Her mother is impossible to deal with, there have been times I did not know where they were. she has used this child to get what she wants and has withheld her from her grandparents and family. As a baby her mother quit feeding her all fat stating ''she didn't want a fat child''.
She took her to 5 different pediatricians in Walla Walla Wa. my Mother and .Dr, Nelson(pediatric
ian) turned her in to Ore DSHS. because Lexi was 19mo. old and weighed only 19 lbs. She fled to Seattle Wa, she took her to Childrens Hospital Seattle. since then She has gone from Physician to Physician . Lexi (my daughter ) has been to many Doctors, including out of State,(Boston-San-
Francisco)coming uo with exotic illness and diseases. One of these diseases being Rhetts Syndrome-, which proved, among others to be false.I have in the past gonewith her Mother to Spokane Wa.to try to get help for Lexi,but her Mother wouldn not listen to the Doctors suggestions.
I have limited income and another child. I cannot pay what she is asking .what do I now

Re: child support
The only piece of relevant information you provided is that you have a child that you acknowledged and is 14 years old. I don't know whether what the mother is asking for in consistent with the Washington State Child Support Worksheet, and I don't know if it reflects the "whole family calculation." Quality of question (and relevant information) affects quality of answer.
