My babys father led me to believe that he
was going to stay and take care of the
baby up until I was seven months, s I
thought I was going to have a father and I
wasn't going to have to do this alone, I
just wanted to know how much harder it'll
be without having him around to help, I
still have my parents and everything, but
they'll help to a certain point.
How do I go about getting child support if
he's still a minor?

The state you live in will more than
likely help you collect child support. The
fact that he is a minor means he will pay
less money in child support, but he still
has as much responsibility towards that
child as you do.
Having a baby is the same whether the dad
is there or not. Moms do the majority of
the work - especially when the baby is
very young.
I'm glad your parents are there for you!

Whn it comes to child support if he is
still a minor pending where you live
either you will just get less money or
they will go after his parents.
Yes it is harder its mainly an emotional
thing. Jut be strong and know you can do
it. Stay focused and make a plan. Will you
be working, who will be supporting you
financially?
Be very grateful for your parents

Yes, I'm working, I've been saving all my
money from all my paychecks, I don't spend
any money really on myself besides food.
It may not seem like a lot but I've
already got about 1000 dollars just from
myself so I'm going to continue working up
until the doctor says I shouldn't.
