i'm already 8 months pregnant but my boyfriend is threatening me that he will not provide financial support and will not acknowledge my child. Please give advise on what can i do to make him provide support and acknowledge this baby. he is already married with 2 kids. thanks.

if he refuses to acknowledge, you will have to file a petition in court for filiation. you will need proof that he is the father, and he can be compelled to provide dna. do you have other evidences such as proof of prior support, written acknowledgment, emails, texts?

you have to establish filiation before you have a right to ask for support.

if you don't have evidence, i'd recommend you be the most sorry and sweetest thing to him right now so you can get him to sign the birth certificate.

Unfortunately, i was not able to keep his texts and online messages to me. Can i have my friends testify and pictures as evidence? I am planning to send him a demand letter as well. What other legal documents/letter can i send him to threaten him to support our child?

By the way, if we willl undergo DNA testing, who shpuld pay for it and can i forced him to undergo the test if he refuses to? Thanks.

demand letter is probably your best move, although it may push him into a corner and refuse. you would then be compelled to wait for the baby to be delivered, file a case for filiation and support.

if voluntary, then cost for dna testing depends on your agreement. one way to handle it is that if the child is not his, you pay for it, if so, he does. good luck.
