Thank you. The immediate option available to your daughter would be to file for child support at the Maintenance court in the area where she resides with her 9 months old child. But, that would be a cumbersome task for the Court because the father of the child has no means of livelihood, no income. I said this because the court enquires into the “means” of the parent as a guide to make an award.
