Child support or not?

Mica • Single mother 12/27/2019 Never forget 👼🏼👼🏼

I’m just so tired and frustrated.

Backstory: the day I found out I was pregnant the father of my child broke things off with me to be with another girl. which I told him that I’m happy for him and hope it work out but that I want the baby more then anything, he ask for me to get an abortion even tho he was the one who talked me into getting pregnant in the first place. I told him no and then he blocked me and left. Throughout my whole eight months pregnancy he was in and out. never came to one doctor appointment and only talk to me when him and the girl was having problems, but it was never about our son he was trying to use me for sex.

My son is two months old now and his father only seen him once. He just gotten out of jail February 19th and didn’t seen him till February 25th (which I travel all the way to his mother’s place and I don’t drive and they live 7 miles away from me, so they can meet my son.) mess up part is if I didn’t text his mother to say sorry for her loss because she lost her father I don’t even think he would have even reached out to even tell me that he was outta jail. But while I was there on 2/25 they was happy to see him was holding him, took pictures and said how much my son looks like his father. Not once face to face did he mention anything about taking a DNA test they even posted my son on social media to let everyone knows that he have a son. (pissed me off because like he just seeking likes) The next day he sent me text messages of clothes they bought for him. Which was fine I told him that he need to focus on buying A bassinet, diapers, and wipes so his son can stay overnight soon.

Yesterday I text him to ask him what day he wanted to go sign himself on the birth certificate because he wasn’t there at the birth and that I can pay half of the $50 fee. Then he text me back about getting a DNA test which I’m fine to do but I rather just bring him to court to do it. While bringing him to court should I just put him on child support? Because he haven’t help financially at all and I don’t know if he gonna disappear again only thing that sucks is I don’t think he have a job yet.

he ask to see him on March 3rd but it’s seem once’s a week he just trying to see him. he didn’t sign the birth certificate legally I don’t need to bring him to see him but for some reason I can’t do that to my son was gonna tell him that he can see him after we do the DNA test to be petty but I don’t know how long it’s gonna take for the court date.
