Im pregnant and surely there is a way of discovering this baby is my ex fiance, I know it is but for the child sake. He is selling his house and moving away and putting all profit into an off shore account to avoid payment. Can I not serve any legal papers on him, at present my lawyer doesnt seem to know anything of the top of his head so I want any advice?

Be careful with this guy. This kind of *** is the type that will permanently eliminate the problem with murder. I suggest (1) find a new lawyer and (2) go visiting somewhere else until the baby is born.
Since it is harder and harder for men to duck child support, the murder rate of pregnant women has gone up. Protect yourself. If he's gone so far as to put his money off shore and sell his house, he might go further.

You can file the paternity action but you cannot garnish anything of his before establishment of paternity. You have to wait until the baby is born to do DNA tests. Filing the action ASAP is best because it puts on record that he was aware at the time he was transferring assets. You can also subpoena asset account statements from the U.S. and establish that he has the means from which to pay (child support, not "maintenance"). You can serve him through public notification or through family U.S. residents. If your lawyer can't put this one together, he/she is incompetent or shrugging you off. However, the writing is on the wall: You can get all the default orders you want, but will NEVER collect from him in another country. Parents don't have to pay child support, if they are willing to go to drastic measures. He is showing you how much he cares about your child. On a CRITICAL note. . .
May I suggest adoption to you? I don't understand willfully and intentionally inflicting parental abandonment and suffering on a child. This is your predictor of what will be burdening your child throughout his/her life. Don't think there is ANY way to get around the emotional damage to your child. You have your "heads-up." Someone needs to give you a good shaking. A child is not a pet, tool or personal property. This mentality makes me angry.

Out of the blue... here it is.
You need DNA from him, either now or after the child is born.
For the now, try writing him a letter. Heartfelt or just ask the simple question about his taking responsibility for the child. Your objective is to get him to write back and hope he uses the kind of envelope that requires licking. And there you should have a DNA sample given freely and should stand up in court. Store it in a zip lock bag in a safe place and don't open it from the sealed edge, I wouldn't open it all if I were you. Let your attorney do it. If, for some reason, some one needs a date for the letter they can use the post mark for that. (Or when you get his letter, give it straight to you attorney).
Next, wait for the child to be born and have them take DNA samples. Now get your attorney and turn everything over to him/her and let them take it to court.
Your ex can run, but if you're persistent, he can't hide from the law. If there's a court order for him to pay child support, and he works a normal job, as in has to use a SSN he can be tracked and forced to pay. You may not get what you want, when you want it, but I'm sure you'll get something.

The courts can no longer rigidity this guy or woman to have a paternity earlier she supplies start because of the threat to the "fetus." the only 2 varieties of attempt that are attainable. Prenatal (earlier your newborn’s start) DNA finding out: Amniocentesis: This attempt is executed interior the 2nd trimester, everywhere from the 14th-twenty fourth weeks of being pregnant. in this technique, the doctor makes use of ultrasound to lead a skinny needle into your uterus, via your abdomen. The needle attracts out a small volume of amniotic fluid, that's examined. negative aspects incorporate a small threat of harming the child and miscarriage. different facet outcomes could incorporate cramping, leaking amniotic fluid, and vaginal bleeding. A medical doctors consent is mandatory to try this technique for paternity finding out. Chrionic Villus Sampling (CVS): This attempt includes a skinny needle or tube which a doctor inserts from the vagina, interior the path of the cervix, guided with the aid of an ultrasound, to get carry of chrionic villi. Chrionic villi are little finger like products of tissue linked to the wall of the uterus. The chrionic villi and the fetus come from the comparable fertilized egg, and function the comparable genetic makeup. This finding out may well be achieved until eventually now in being pregnant from the 10th-thirteenth weeks. A medical doctors consent is mandatory to try this technique for paternity finding out.

The baby has to be born before you can test paternity. All you can do is wait. Once the baby is born he will have to pay for his child once the paternity is proved. Maybe you should go to another lawyer for a second opinion as your current one doesn't seem to be much use.

you can have a test done now that will confirm if he's the father, but i don't think you can take him for support until the child is actually born..... what the heck happened in this relationship? he's moving, selling his house, not claiming his child, hiding his money? The only thing I can figure is he's either a selfish spiteful idiot, or perhaps he thinks you were just after his money from the beginning. consult another attorney. otherwise... you'll still get child support... maybe not as much as you are hoping for, but it goes off of his W-2's... last years... as WELL as his current income...... you should have enough money to raise your child, don't worry.

Get a different lawyer. I don't want to make guesses without really knowing the implications. I'm sure that you could take your ex to court once it is born, although you might want to try mediation. I don't really see the problem with his off-shore money, as he'll have work where he is and can pay maintenance from that.

Honey no matter what he do he is still going to have to pay for child support. The judge is going to be in your favor no matter what. If he don't have a job the court will order him into a program that will make sure he is looking for work and after so many months if he do not obtain work he will still have to pay child support and that will **** up his credit.
