This is my son
When I was nineteen years old I became pregnant with my boyfriend of one year and we were in california at the time. I decided to move back to AZ where I would live with my family. Of course he was more than willing to let me go. When I got here we talked about the baby over the phone for one month and then I never heard from him again and what I did hear was that he lived in Alaska and had a wife. So I decided not to bother him anymore and about three months ago he had told me he was living back in California and was going to move back to Arizona with his mother. We talked and our conversation led up to him asking to visit his son and I said "Yes" hoping he would want to be in his sons life. So he came down and saw his son and went home. About one month later I told him we needed to talk about child support because he was talking about more consistent visits. I didnt ask him for any money at that moment I just said, "We need to discuss it" and he flew off the wall, he got so angry and wouldn't reply to any messages. I just don't think that its very fair that I had to take care of everything from when I got pregnant and had to pay for everything alone and im now 21 and I dont have steady income nor do I have a high school diploma. It just breaks my heart when something like this has to be put on my son and how it's gonna have a huge impact on his life when he gets older. But im hoping I can do something legally that can ensure that he has a future with his father as well as having the things he needs in life.
