Answer summary
The user is seeking guidance on options to stay in Thailand as a dependent, having already extended their stay under amnesty with their child. A comment suggests applying for a 60-day family extension based on custody of a half-Thai child, followed by a potential application for a NON-O visa if specific financial or employment criteria are met.

I'm guessing the child is half thai yes?
If that's the case, take the thai birth certificate and documents out to the Muang Thong Thani immigrations office and see if you can get a 60 day visit thai family extension for 1900baht. IF you get that you can then begin the process to apply for a 90 day in country Non-Immigrant Type visa based on supporting a half thai child that you have legal parental rights to. You would need to have 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only transferred in from another country OR you'd need to legally work here (with the correct visa/work permit) and have a salary of a minimum of 40K baht a month.
The first step is getting the 60 day visit family extension to get you OFF amnesty and on to a hard stamp extension.
