The father of my granddaughter just got out of boot camp. He told my daughter that the Military doesn't think that the baby is his and they won't start an allotment until he has a paternity test done. HE was the one who signed his name on her birth certificate and the Military gave her a Military ID card. He won't tell my daughter where he's at or his CO's name so I have no idea how to find him. How do I go about finding him? Please help.

If you have the childs ID Card it has the fathers SSN on it, and that must mean you are close to a military base. There has to be a court order stating how much child support to pay, and if he says he isnt sure if hes the father then a paternity test will be done by the court. If it turns out he is not the father then any health benefits the child has used are subject to recoupment.

well the military won't just go by the birth certificate if he is saying he is not the father...all your daughter needs to do is get the paternaity test done and he will pay the child support?? Where did he get out of boot camp at?? What is his MOS?? Where was he recruited at?? If you know that, then AFTER THE PATERNITY TEST...go there and explain the situation..they MIGHT be able to help you....Good Luck!!

i know. i was in the military, though it was reserves and Ive been out for 5 yrs. the process is the same. the recruiter wont know. their job is to get a person to basic after that the ropes are cut, they don't know anything else. most are also to busy to hunt them down. the military holds very strong military values, u just have to go through the correct chain of command.
go to the base that he is stationed at,or the basic training post, the recruiter might(?)know where he went but doubtful, tell them the situation,make sure u speak to a higher rank or civil affairs or human resource dept.,commander, the trick is to get the right person
the military will make him take a paternity test,u of course have to show them the birth certificate and the military id and have him pay for it.and they will pull the child support money out of his check before he even sees it, this of course is called garnishing
the military holds responsibility and family close to home. they will bring down the hammer on him.most of the people here have had negative experience because they did not take the right approach. it will be a headache, and u have to constantly be on their case, but it will happen. i also had ex family members that when through this process a few yrs ago

What you do is contact the nearest military post. Contact the recruiter in your area if you don't live close enough. They will be able to tell you where he is stationed. They will also be able to put you in contact with the legal office on base. The recruiter can also contact his command for you. Be ready for a DNA test. If they already gave her an id card then take that with you. It has his social and the rest of his information that they will need.
Good Luck

He has enough on his plate don't ya think. Where is the mother? Is she giving you support? Why are you seeking this, is she? If he just got out of boot camp how much do you think he has. I doubt very much. If he doesn't think the baby is his then why should he have to pay. Whether he signed the birth certificate or not, a paternity test is what you need to get support. If you can't find him then find another way to take care of the child.

IF they are married,
IF the child support is court ordered, and
IF his name is on the birth certificate, the military will hold him responsible and will automatically send child support to the mother from his paycheck.
To find him, go to your nearest Army Recruiter's office (of Navy or whatever) and report him. THEY know exactly where he is or can find him in short order.

Hey, I am in the military forum all the time. I think you should post this question over there. It is under politics and government, then there is a subheading for military. Most of the people over there are military, or former military, so they should be able to help you!

Contacting his CO is ineffective because of the fact she or he would have the capacity to do no longer something for the ex female buddy on the telephone claiming to be pregnant. they won't be able to do something for you at present. as quickly as the infant is born, you pass to kinfolk courtroom, set up paternity and newborn help and pass from there. the advantages is incredibly healthcare and newborn help (a civil remember). you ought to get an lawyer; it incredibly is a complicated difficulty and a lawyer is the only that could navigate all of it.

I know exactly how you can find him! Unfortunately the military does allow the men in uniform to be dead beat fathers. I have two suggestions. 1- contact the recruiters from which he was recruited in his hometown and find his where abouts. But this next suggestion is best! 2- Go to health and welfare to file for child support. Not only do they have links to the military services to find out where they are but they have a proper procedure in which they follow to get them to pay child support. Plus they will make him cover your childs health insurance. He will have to pay for every penny that is spent on court expenses for the child support hearing between himself and the state. You wont have to do a thing but wait for a letter to come back stating how much the court awarded your daughter in child support for the baby. It being that he signed that birth certificate he cannot get out of paying. Even if he wasn't the father they would still hold him accountable with that document! I hope you find what your looking for and good luck to you!

Contact the Social Security office and see if they can be of any help.
What about the military I D card? I would think that it has the branch of the service that he is in on it.
Do you know his social security number?
You have my sympathy. What a jerk for not wanting to contribute to his daughters welfare.
What about his parents, are they not willing to help out their granddaughter? Contact them and perhaps they will be willing to help you.
Good luck in your search.
