Hello,
You can take all the kids in for blood tests. Kids sometimes do not like getting blood drawn.
This does not mean you will get child support, just means you might get it.
Along with this the father of the kids can and sometimes does get visitation rights etc.

This question is incomplete. Are you the biological parent? Do you have custody? Divorced or never married? Does the mother have a job? If you are the biological parent with primary custody, yes. File with the Clerk of Court in your area or in some cases, if you don't have a job, go to the "children and family services" and seek financial assistance and they will file for you or guide you through the process if you are indigent. However, if you are a "step parent" and separated from your lover, no. You have no legal rights. You could file with the court that the mother is incapable to be a good parent; but it would be likely that the children would go to the nearest living blood relative. Be careful there! And good luck.

Generally, every state gives a custodial parent the right to seek child support from the non-custodial parent, or from a parent who doesn't spend much time with the kids. But the details vary greatly from state to state. You might try these websites to learn more about the state you are in:

Good luck, and please remember that while the money certainly helps raise the kids, the kids should never, ever overhear one of their parents complaining that the other isn't paying enough. Any inter-parent conflict causes kids stress, but this particular one can also cause them to question their self-worth and the degree to which their parent loves them.
You didn't give any indication that you needed to hear that; I have just seen a lot of child support disputes in my job, and I felt it couldn't hurt to mention my concern over that very common mistake.

Contact your state Department of Health and Human Services child support Division. also file a child Support petition in your local court by providing information such as the other parties mailing address , date of birth and her social security number as well as the girls birth records you should be able to get assistance. do not fall for those companies that charge you to get what is yours. The laws have changed so much now that they can withhold ones income tax refund. Take away their license. garnish pay good luck and God Bless you and your girls

if the children are a product of that 9 year relationship, yes. Just file the necessary paperwork with social services or children's services.

If they are the parent and they work....if they are a bum, you can get a judgement in case he found a winning ticket.
