When I first got pregnant I decided to keep the baby, but when my parents or my boyfriend found out they weren't supportive. Also I'm only 17 and when I will have the baby I'll be 18. what should I do or any suggestions?

You need a child support order to determine how much money your child will receive. Don't let the boyfriend or his parents talk you out of it.

To get this process started and get assigned a caseworker, you need to contact your local child support offices.

Caseworkers in these offices will help you collect child support no matter where the other parent lives. They work with attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and family and domestic courts.

They can help you establish paternity and find a missing parent. The court will then help determine how much child support you can collect based on how much the other parent can afford.

If you already receive public benefits (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), then you are required to apply for child support (unless the other parent is abusive). Your caseworker can help you get the paperwork started.
