I have a 24 yr. old daughter that has lived with her boyfriend for 8 yrs. they were engaged.A month ago they broke up, they have 2 children 1 of wich my daughter had when the boyfriend met her, he was 3 months old. The biological dad has never done anything for the child but the boyfriend has supported the child since they met and claims him on his incometax. Now that they have split he says he wants nothing to do with the child nor does he want to pay for him. Is there any law that helps her since the boyfriend has assumed responcabliity for 8 years? Could he be forced to pay child support? He has never adopted the child or given him his name. I have heard that in some states since he has paid all this time a judge would say he would have to continue. Please help !!
