Can I Get Child Support Before the Baby Comes?

So, I’m pregnant and things with the baby’s dad aren’t exactly rainbows and sunshine. I’m thinking about filing for child support, but I’m not sure if I can do that before the baby’s born. Has anyone been through this? Any advice would be super helpful…

No, it’s to “support” the child. If it hasn’t been born yet, there’s nothing to support. You’ll need a court order to get things started. If the biological father denies paternity, DNA testing will be required first.
