i am trying to establish paternity for my 4 year old daughter, and the only way i know how to do that without having to pay hundrends of dollars is to file child support. the state picks it up and establishes paternity for free if there is question by the father or mother.however, I do not want to take money out of his inmate trustfund if infact h is the father. I have many reasons as to why i don't. The reasons are not the father's best intrest (i couldn't care less about him). My reasons are for my daughter as well as myself's safety.

Money ought to always be taken from inmate money accounts to pay fines, restitution, child support, room and board, and any other debt owed by incarcerated criminals!

If you are worried about safety, then don't establish paternity! That act alone will alert him to you and your child. Yes, you can do it without filing for child support. Yes, the state WILL take the money from his accounts. BUT, if you do anything to establish paternity, it WILL alert him to you and your child. If you are that concerned about your safety, then just leave it be. You can always name the State of Texas as the father on the child's birth certificate.

they only make like $15 a month. exactly what do you want them to take from that?
he'll probably just have to pay it when he gets out as part of his parole rules.
