My husband and I have been married for 3 years. We got together when I was 2 months pregnant with my ex boyfriends child. He has asumes responsibility and been my sons father since birth. Son is now 3 years old. Husband and I recently separated leaning towards divorce. Is he under any kind of obligation to help (child support) for my son? He wants to see him every weekend. Please let me know. Thank you Tiffany
State/Country of Question: Oregon Already Tried: Nothing yet. I am in the process of looking for an attorney now
Good afternoon,Presuming that you were married when the baby was born your husband is legally presumed to be the father. It would be difficult for him to avoid the responsibility of being financial responsible for your son now. The court must act in the best interest of the child and often, that means, that the presumed father will still be responsible for child support. Concomitantly, your husband will also be allowed custody/visitation of his son and he will have the right to assist in raising him.I wish you and your son well.
