Can you get child support for an unborn child?

Answer:

Answer

No. Once the child is born to an unmarried couple, paternity needs to be established before a child support petition can be filed. It can be the voluntary acceptance of the male involved or in disputed cases a paternity test (usually DNA rather than a blood test) must be done.
