I was just wondering. I have an 8 year old son and his father does absolutely nothing for him. I told his father before he was born that I would never go after him for child support but I'm at my wits end and I'm wanting child support now. Only thing is the man doesn't work and has absolutely no income coming in. Is it even worth going to court over this? Will the state pay his child support and he'll just owe the state money? I'm not sure how this works. Please help. Thank you.
