I did had a child out of marriage. The case was originated in Puerto Rico but New York state (Where I live is in charge to get the payments). I had not paid for the last 3.5 years and I just received a letter from the taxation department saying that I have 15 days to pay about 21,000 dollars or they will proceed after me. I know that I had done wrong and I did it in order to keep my marriage and family as intact as possible. I do not have the economic resources to pay that amount on that time. If I get a family lawyer, could he help in situations like this to work a reasonable payment plan? How fast do I have to proceed? Do you know how expensive this could be?
If I do not have the means to pay a lawyer do you know if exist any agency that may help me?

Thank you (and please understand that I am not proud of not paying, I want to do the right thing but at the same time I have to support my family)
