how do you go about getting child support?
You can either come to a private agreement with the father or if he's being difficult about it contact the CSA.
But, if you go through the CSA and are on benefits, regardless of whether it's £5 or £200 a week he pays, you will only see upto £20 of it. If you are working and not claiming benefits you'll recieve all of it.
If the father is on benefits or earning upto £100 a week you will only get £5 a week off him. It's an absolutely rubbish system so best to do it private if possible.
Im assuming you're from the UK? If not them I'm not sure. Hope this helps.
