Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

My ex-girlfriend moved to Calif 3 months before the baby was born...she is now demanding child support and food and clothes and does not want to share custody, papers came today demanding child support....I do not oppose child support but i wonder if i have any rights? I did find out she is still married to someone else.

You do not have rights until rights are established really. In WASHINGTON, at least, the process would be to establish paternity (without that you generally are not liable for child support), and then you end up having a gloves off approach where questions of parenting time, division of assets/liabilities, and child support are all established.

It sounds like you will need a California attorney.
