Let the court decide but don't act like just because he hasn't seen his kid that he is 100% at fault.
I've known men & women who haven't met their kid until they were teenagers due to the custodial parties anger. A lot of times children are used by the custodial party as ransom.

Thomas decided to take a paternity test when the boy was three years old.
“It comes back zero percent. I was in my office and I saw that. I should’ve expected it but I didn’t and it hit me. I’m telling my co-worker how shocked I am that someone could do this to someone,” he said.

This is the absolute truth for many, its definitely my truth
I was a pawn in a power play in my early years, no say whatsoever... but as maturity set in, it became clear neither mom or dad was 100% at fault
They both dicked things up with their petty grievances, and while both might have felt they won, and each had their own completely valid reasons... I was absolutely the loser
Tyreek... pay your bills, and kiss whatever ass you have to... a kid without a father is a bomb waiting to go off [Reply]

Technically there isn't child support ordered to be paid yet.
And the whole assault started over her telling him she was pregnant with someone else's child.
Once you start paying it's almost impossible to start.
Checking in super late to this thread... I had some time to actually sit and read the Police Report this morning... wow, it was hard to even read. [Reply]
Technically, you're right. He hasn't been ordered to pay child support yet. But to me, if he's "doing everything off the field he should" and "we're proud of what he's doing off the field" that would indicate he's taking care of his child (which, I know what she said, but all indications since then are that it is his kid).
Or, if it's not his kid, having an attorney respond and order a paternity test so it's over. [Reply]

Maybe they have disputes regarding amount, or frequency, or escrow of funds, or any number of factors. Maybe they don't even have so much a dispute as an attitude that a judge/mediator can better determine the fairest apportionment and other details.
Absent evidence to the contrary, there is no reason to assume that the court filing is for any reason other than a formalization of enforceable transactions.
