You can legally compel the father to provide for the child’s needs through child support. Here's what to do:

  1. File a Complaint in Family Court – Approach the Family Court in your area to file for child maintenance.
  2. Proof of Paternity – If paternity is disputed, the court may order a DNA test.
  3. Court Order for Support – Once paternity is confirmed, the court will determine the amount he must pay based on his income and the child's needs.
  4. Enforcement – If he fails to comply, you can request enforcement through wage garnishment or other legal measures.
