How do I find out if my boyfriend is paying child support for someone else's kid?
How can I find out if he's paying child support? There was some drama with another chick saying she had his kid, and now he's explaining away a small chunk of each check. Anyone know what website I can go to to find out if there's a case against him?
Or for that matter, to see if his name was on any birth certificates recently?
Please don't tell me "yeah he's probably the father" or "you should leave him." I know. Constructive answers only please.
Thank you
We're in WI, if that can help you to direct me more accurately to the right site.

My constructive answer is this: ask him directly.
It really shouldn't be a big deal if he's paying child support for his kid (not someone else's, his), but if it is, he deserves to have a partner who doesn't mind and you deserve to have a partner who isn't financially obligated to someone else.
In a more immediate sense, you deserve a partner you can trust and so does he. This means that you need to be able to trust that he will be honest with you and he needs to be able to trust that you won't flip out on him for doing something that is legally and ethically correct. If he had a child in a past relationship, it's good that he's taking responsibility. He also deserves a partner who will come to him with questions like this rather than going behind his back to seek answers to questions he hasn't been asked.
If being a father means that he has cheated on you, that is obviously a problem, but my answer remains the same. Since he obviously shows you his paycheck, you should be able to figure out where the money is going. You could also figure out what percentage is owed for child support in your state and see if it matches the amount that is being "explained away."
However, I strongly encourage you to talk to him directly. That is what is ethically best, and best for the relationship. If you simply can't, then try running a search on "birth records WI"... I did that and came up with several. You may need to check in order to find the right site (some offer ones from in the past, some only for certain counties, etc). In any case, try to decide what (if anything) this means for your relationship.
Remember, cheating on you is bad. Taking responsibility for his actions (in the form of child support) is good.
Good luck to you and your partner!

You may be able to find the information in the court records in the county in which the that woman and her child live. However, it is also possible that a court order on support exists in a county in which they previously resided.
If you can find that woman and speak with her, you may gain some information to help you locate a court order or to confirm that there is no such order.
You may hire a private investigator to do a background check on your boyfriend.
Wouldn't it be best to find a life partner about whom you do not have serious doubts concerning his character? More love and less drama?

I doubt if this information is on a website. You will most likely need to check the court records in the county where the woman lives.

A man or woman can declare a based if the based is a minor and lived with the taxpayer for greater than part the 12 months and the taxpayer in my opinion furnished greater than part the help for the little one. If the ones stipulations are met, then the man or woman can declare the deduction. If the ones stipulations aren't met, then no quantity of consent or loss of consent will permit that man or woman to take the deduction.
