for c'link, as long as you state from the outset you will not be claiming child support there is nothing more needed. you will get nothing more than $48.30 per fn ftba this fin yr. rent assistance wont be paid.

keep in mind that this may be financially viable for you now - but FTB is payable up until your child is 25 in some circumstances, so this might be a long term impact on you. if the situation is one of violence, then an appointment with a social worker may be able to have you exempted from collecting payment, entitle you to higher payment etc. this may be something you don't wish to go through now, but keep it in mind for the future.

if you think the dad is going to say he isn't the father, you can get assistance having DNA testing done. it is the goverments requirement that BOTH parents financially contribute to the upbringing of the child, so they will withold payment to encourage you to have the father contribute
