How can an American woman who's had a child with an illegal immigrant pursue child support?
Anyway, their personal problems are beside the point. What frustrates her is the fact that he never pays any child support. He tells her that if she wanted him to support their child, she shouldn't have left him. She's registered with the local Child Support Enforcement office, but they've told her that if he doesn't have a social security number or driver's license, then there's no way they can make him pay. She was basically scolded for not thinking about this dilemma before she got pregnant! Is there any legal way that she can force him to be responsible for his child?
Answer:
The father didn't even obey the laws of this country. Hence the term illegal. There is nothing they can do. I feel sorry for your sister trying to raise a child without any finical support from the father. The only thing she might try doing is not allowing the x to visit the child or her. Until he ponies up the money. That too might not be a wise choice because if he was abusive to her and that's why she left who's to say what he might do. I don't want to see your sister or the baby get hurt.
Damn, that's a tough one. I don't know of anyway that he could be made to pay. Unless h has an illegal SS card. Then it's just the U.S. citizens really paying. Good luck on that
Go to family court and get a court order. Then once order if the father does not pay, he goes to jail. Also call INS on his sorry behind. Get him deported...if he is not paying child support anyway and is abusive....let him go back home.
Yes, she could detain him against his will and make him babysit while she went out and found a job. Hopefully he won't beat the child or worse.
Or she could do what all the rest of the anchor babies mothers are doing and that is go get on welfare and make every person in the United States pay for child support for her anchor baby.
Just call Uncle Sam, Uncle Daddy!

You should be asking your sister why she was an idiot for having a child with an illegal. I would call immigration on him for being here illegally.
Wow...so illegal immigrants can get out of paying child support while a legal citizen couldn't? That makes lots of sense.
How bout just threatening the deadbeat to deport his *** if he doesn't pay up every month...
she's ca ca out of luck unless he get a ss number. american woman have no business getting mixed up with an illegal. good luck to her.
One person is to blame ! Ur dumb sister by sleeping & getting pregnanent with an illegal . She will have to pay the price of it for the rest of her life & will be the only sole supporter for the child cuz their is no law that could obligate an illegal of anything & that is the beauty of why illegals love to break our laws cuz no one could do anything about it !
No--thereis no legal option. And the truth is, she should have thought about thiis before she got pregnant--now hse's having to take the consequences.
But she has another, and far more serious problem which apparently neither of you see. First of all, it's clear he is hoping his refusal to support the child unless your sister gets back with him is moral blackmail. And I will guarantee you he is more interested in getting her name on a marriage licence than in either her or the child--because then he can make his status legal.
That's the background--here is your real problem. That he's abusive I don't doubt--this is a classice behavior pattern (except for the immigration issue). You can expect continued pressure from him--and if your sister makes any move to push him further away, expect it to escalate into stalking and/or violence. Her best bet is to get him deported. For her safety and the safety of her child.
It sounds like she didn't use her head,by sleeping with an immigrant. She needs to get him deported,and raise the child on her own. 9 times out of ten,he's probably married to someone in Honduras,anyway! Deport his ***!!!!!
Its difficult to trace someone without the documents you mention.Also his wages cant be garnished without them.I don't think he has any recourse in this.At least not legal.Perhaps she should talk to an ICE agent.I'm sorry but if he was an abusive boyfriend ,I wouldn't want him around the child.No father is better than an abusive father.He will grow up thinking its OK to abuse women after all daddy did.
I'm sorry but I am with the CSE,women need to think beyond the "moment" and why didn't she/they/he use protection.Good luck
Good answer crabby!
Well, I would scole her too. He can fcuk someone else, and just laugh about how dumb the women was to go with it, since he won't and can't be coerced to pay child support, since he is an ILLEGAL! Tell your sis to keep her head out of the gutter, this one is a lesson learned the hard way, hope something bad happens to the bastard-the illegal father.
