    Default When Does Child Support Start

    My question involves child support in the State of: Texas

    My ex wanted a paternity test. Our son was born in February and the paternity test was done in late March to prove his patenity. I filed the paperwork with the attorney general and the case is just being opened. My question--would he be responsible for child support for the months of February, March, April and now May? or would it be effective when the court order is in effect? He hasn't helped out financially at all, but I think he wouldn't be responsible for the first few months.

    If he is proven to be the father, the judge will more than likely order child support back to the day the child was born if requested.

    If not when the child was born at least to the day you first filed.
