I have been ordered (by Arizona child support) to pay child support, in which I has fallen way behind on. I was married to the mother for over 7 years, and shortly after the child was born my wife moved to Arizona (with child). The child is now 17 years old. The support order is based off my earnings when I worked in Massachusetts (17 years ago). I havn't made that kind of money since then. I now feel that the child might not even be mine. I don't make much money now, and can’t afford legal fees to pursue this. I am a vet.
Is there any way Ican get assistance to have a paternity test done?

Ok so here's the Q: Lets say you are a women whom is pregnant and not sure who the father is, BUT you really don't care whom the father is. However the possible father cares whom the father is and wants a paternity test done. IF she does not file for child support and he has no legal obligations to pay for the child does he have a LEGAL right to obtain a paternity test in the state of California?
Please list your sources.

My boyfriend and I are expecting our first daughter anytime in the next couple weeks, and I want to make sure we are prepared for any legal issues that may come up due to us not being married. The birth certificate issue is ok, we spoke with the dr and hospital and we'll just have to sign a affidavit of paternity after birth and he can be on the birth certificate.

What Im worried about though is if something were to happen to me. Even though it is highly unlikely, I'd still like to be prepared for it. Would the hospital let him take our daughter home or would she be in foster care until a paternity tests result was back? That would just make a bad situation worse....Would a simple will granting guardianship of her to him take care of that?
