If it’s proven that he is the father, can I ask for child support from the time our child was born? He has given me 00 ten times over the past five years. How do I know how much he can afford? He hired an attorney, but I cannot afford one to represent me.

Can my HOA come in without my permission? My neighbor insists I installed the tile floor which is not allowed on the upper level in condo. The neighbor does not live below me, she is just harassing me. I already responded to the HOA that I don’t have a tile floor, but feel like I don’t want them in my home if it comes to it.
