I think you should try to talk to him face-to-face. Myspace probably isn't the best way to talk to him about such a major issue.

You don't have to wait until he is 18 to go after him for child support.

I think you should do what is best for your child and yourself. If he is not going to be there and support you, then I agree, you do deserve better. Don't stay with him simply because you have a child with him. He can still be involved in your child's life, even if you aren't together.

The key is to be mature about this. Try to stay civil with each other, it make every thing easier that way.

Good luck

Thing is he hates talking about the baby, and refuses to discuss it, I've given him so many options, I've been more then patient with him, and he has refused to cooperate.

Guys are different when it comes to baby's, they dont really bond or have a connection until they are born.
If he's not being supporting, or acting weird, think hard about what you think is best for you and your baby. Tell him that you want him to be in the baby's life, that you want to be in a relationship with him too, but in the end he's the one that makes the final call.
I wouldnt wait until things work out, that could take years [or less] i would start collecting it from the time that baby is born. Otherwise he'll just throw in your face, how you never asked him for money before, and he might just end up saying no.
You should talk to him face to face too.

I plan to start collecting right away when the baby is born. I never see him anymore. He avoids me on top of that.

Then i wouldn't waste my time stressing over him.
He has to grow up, and be responsible for his actions as well.
It takes two to make a baby, and two to raise one as well.
But since he's acting like a child, i wouldn't waste my time over him. He's missing out on a beautiful thing, so he can either choose to be a part of the baby's life, or be a loser and leave his baby and you.
I'd try talking to him one last time, face to face, or getting one of his buddy's [if you get along with any of them] to talk some sense into his head.

Well, good luck collecting right away. There will need to be a paternity test and 'court' or Child Support Enforcement of some kind. This takes a little while. It sounds like he is going to argue that he isn't the father (at least it sounds like his dad will push him to argue that he isn't).

You'll be lucky to start getting child support by the time the child is 3 months old.

well his dad wants him to take responsibility, and he hasn't denied it yet. But he might. If he hasn't to others already. What am I suppose to do about the birth certificate, how do I get him to sign it, will the courts make him? Or should I see if he'll do it himself?

I am in a similar situation. The court will put his name on the birth certificate if he is found to be the father. But you can't force him to sign it. I have talked to a lady who worked in our local child support office. She advised me to pay the $25 and file for child support. The court will order a paternity test and WHEN it is proven my baby's father is indeed the father, he will be responsible for paying for it and they will collect child support from him.

Note: My ex is also younger than me. His parents are trying to get him to pay half the hospital bill...yet to see any money and it's due this month... He claims he wants to take responsibility so he got a job. Yet all the money he has made thus far has been put solely into his car. He just seems to SAY one thing and DO another. I've seen him once in the past 2 months...

Yeah this guy is younger then me as well. And his parents want him to take responsibility, but hes not offering to do anything. in fact I haven't heard from him in several days, and don't think I will for a while. But if he thinks I'm going to let him walk away, he's got another thing coming to him.
