Yes, however that does not stop child support. see links below
Judges have a lot of discretion about retroactive support. I would definitely raise this as a defense.
NEVER!
The order goes to child support enforcement to persecute.
They might judge you, but they would never be outspoken about judging you. Dont worry about what others think
That's up to a judge, but a driver's license is not a requirement or a right for the child. In 20 years, I've never seen it attempted.
the best defense is to have some physical documentation stating that you are indeed the father. once you have this get a lawyer to argue before a judge that this move would not be in the best interest of the child and due to physical constraints you would not be able to be a stable presence in the child's life which you strongly desire. this is after you are proven to be the father and have a custody agreement.
Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.
Only Texas has that law, but with significant restrictions. In all other states, it's a case by case basis, with the Judge interpreting the maturity of the child, and their intent, but this still does not override other evidence in the child's best interest. It's just a piece of the evidence.see links below for additional info
well if your talking of the old saying, then it would be that you never judge a book by its cover. In other words, you shouldn't make an impression of something if you have never found out about it. Hope this helps :)
Lola in the book by Lauren Child.
I would never name my child Fillmore, even though it was the name of a president.
I was so relieved to be told by the judge that my right to keep my child was now indefeasible and the authorities could never take him from me again
