Do you need a lawyer to go to court with you if the father is trying to get parentage when he has not ever paid child support or seen her?

There are several things in play here: (1) If he goes to court to exercise his parental right, and he has never paid any child support, he he WILL be ordered to pay child support - probably going all the way back to when she was born. (2) If he is proven to be the child's father (DNA sample or his name is on the birth certificate) he WILL be awarded some kind of visitation rights. The court's will not deny a parent access to their own child. If you feel that you will be better represented with an attorney you should probably hire one. The feelings of the parents towards one another is totally irrelevant. The court has only one interest - the child.

My husband and I agreed on a dissolution. I have an attorney trying to save costs. He doesn't want to pay child support. Is there another process besides filing for a no-fault divorce on this issue?
Yes, reconciliation.Get a new lawyer. Trying to save costs on a child support issue is malpractice as far as I see it. Unless there is some reason you havent mentioned in the question, getting the father to pay child support is a no brainer for a good lawyer. I would not suggest reconciliation with someone who refuses to be responsible for his child.

Yes, it is the same as a bent warrant. However, if it is through child support, then talk to the Office of Child Support Enforcement in your area (i.e. the lawyer from the department that's trying to get one on you), and see if you can pay them something and get another chance. Your best bet is to pay what you owe.
