Find father's rights support groups in
your area and fight, go to higher courts, and fight until you have no air left. I've left some internet places for you to search: www.NcFc.Net www.MillionDadsMarch.Org www.merg.net "John" wrote in message om... Hi, I was served with a petition to establish paternity and child support in Oregon, and after finding that I can't afford a lawyer to defend me, I'm wondering if anyone has info on writing the "response" I need to file to avoid default. I found out and bought the form to use (form 501), just need to know what to put on it. An online resource would be great too if you know of any. Responses *greatly* appreciated. John |

John Hi John, I'm from California. But Oregon should be similar. Go to your local court. They should have someone who can help who fill out the forms at little or no charge. You should also be able to get help from father's rights organizations, as mentioned in Freedom's prior post. Here are a couple of sites fyi. http://www.ancpr.org/ http://www.kidsneeddads.org/KNDmain.html If the child is not yours, than this hearing will probably be one of the most important events of your life. Do not miss it. Make sure you demand a DNA test and file your response on time. It doesn't need to be long, just to the point. OTOH, if you are the father. Congratulations and condolences all at the same time. You still need to file, but you probably want to be a part of your childs life. Make sure you respond and include that in your response. Make sure you ask for 50/50. Do not settle for less. Most father's are just as capable as mother's in raising children if not more so. Do not get suckered into paying outrageous child support based on the mistake that it would be easier to be a part time Dad. Make room for your child in your life and you will be rewarded in more ways than one. Good Luck, ~Dani |

BTW, here in CA., if one who cannot afford a lawyer in a paternity action can get one appointed if they cannot afford one. It might be something to check out. You know as well as I do, that after the fact, men are along for the ride. There is no choice here except to do damage control and you can only do so much in that regard if you are the father. Better deal with it either way and if you are the father, than do it right. I know, I'm living that dream right now. Maybe not the same circumstances, exactly. But, the same bull**** in the Courts bieng a divorced father of two. BTW, what constructive input do you have to add besides raining on my parade? OTOH, if you are the father.
