How Long Does It Take For A Child Support Hearing

by T.D.

I am five months pregnant and the father of my unborn child has made it clear that he does not want to be involved and that he wants a DNA test. He is completely uncooperative and we have not spoken since I found out four months ago. I found out that I can file a claim as early as four months pregnant and I did that. I really want this nightmare to be over as soon as possible so now that I have filed; how long will it be before a hearing is scheduled? Is it possible that the initial hearing will be before I give birth so that DNA can be collected at the hospital? How long does the complete process ending with an order generally take?
