The man told the court he works as a plumber and is now living outside County Kildare. He said he intends to start a plumbing business.
When this happens, he said, he will be able to pay more maintenance to his wife for his child.
Judge Desmond Zaidan initially suggested he pay €25 a week but increased this to €40 and also told the man to assist with back-to-school and medical bills for the child by contributing 30% of the costs.
