I am looking for articles that address a single mother's rights in the state of Ohio. Specifically I am looking for articles that explain in layman's terms the process for establishing paternity, and how to seek child support. This is for an adult (technically) woman (not a minor). Thanks |

Articles? I can't help you there, but worked with a father's rights group in the 80's as modern support laws were developed. I was the first person in our city/county to get a copy of the official child support recovery employee's manual, thus have some knowledge beyond the average citizen. It is really simple. Due to Federal laws, this is almost uniform in all states. Differences will be minor. (They are possible, but unlikely.) After the birth, contact the CSRU (Child Support Recovery Unit or localized name) in your area. It is a government office. Talk to them; they take care of the rest, period. If they can find the putative (their terminology) father, they send him a letter telling him to report for DNA tests; if he passes (flunks from his viewpoint) they then tell him to report with income information for support determination hearing. If he balks, their lawyers take action in court, and if he refuses to come, they do it without him. Support amounts are based on state guidelines as required by Federal law, thus not much negotiation. They then send a letter to his employer ordering the employer to take out the stated amount of money from each check, and shoud the employer refuse, the employer gets to pay it. It is down to a science, so don't worry about it. Don't volunteer to pay a private attorney unless you totally strike out with CSRU, since a private attorney can do no more than they can. |

That sucks. The guy should have some choice in the matter. If a woman can choose to abort, a man should be able to shirk his responsibility as well. |

If men wish to shirk responsibility then they can use condoms. Why should some men assume that women bear responsibility for contraception? |

If a woman does not want to get pregnant and she has taken no precautions, than it is plain foolish for her not to ask her partners to "put the cap on the pen". |
