Answer:
Yes, your friend can seek child support from the father, who is 19 years old. In Tennessee, he is legally old enough to work since he is over 16. Additionally, because he is 18 or older, he is considered an adult. Your friend can file for child support and establish paternity if that hasn't been done yet. This action can be initiated by a representative, guardian ad litem, or next friend (R. Civ. Pro. 17.03).This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
