[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 367411, member: 1233"] I doubt custody would be a problem, esp if you can show that he did know about the baby. The money you "pay" for the agencies is not out of pocket. They take your case after an award for support has not been honored for a period of time. They get paid only if they get money for you. Their fee is a portion of the back child support, NOT money out of your pocket. It is money that otherwise you would not have. Some of these agencies are quite aggressive and can even go after employers with the threat of turning them in to the IRS and state tax people for hiring people under the table. It may get the sperm donor fired, but it still can get some $$ out of the employer to help cover the back support owed. Many moms think they have to have money up front to hire these agencies. Some may work that way, but the ones I have known all got paid only if they collected. Whatever you choose, I seriously doubt the courts would give the deadbeat custody. Esp if he had other kids he didn't support. Most courts will allow a teenager to choose where he lives and very very few would be willing to go live with a stranger. Though it might be a way to get custody away from your brother if push came to shove. [/QUOTE]
