Whether or not a 17 year old can receive child support in his or her name depends on many different factors. Some states will allow this in certain limited circumstances, while others will not. The child would have to prove to the courts that there is a compelling reason to allow this before it could happen.
Contact your attorney and file a "Motion of Amendment" to your court order and upon discovery of status of said child a judge will issue stop support order and you will be absolved of any child support payments except any arrearage that you might owe. If you owe any arrearage, that will still have to be paid.
Depends on the State but usually....yes. In New York for example, if the child still lives with the custodial parent (even if she has a child of her own), then the answer is yes. In this case, the noncustodial parent has to pay until the child turns 21.
In most cases you need to pay child support for a child that is only 17 years old. This is controlled by state law and should be clearly indicated in the child support order.
The mother of the child is not required to bear all responsibility. The father helped to bring the child into the world and he must help to pay for it's support.
Do I have to pay child support to my 17 year old who willingly left home.
Yes until she is 18. Having a child does not make her emancipated and minors do not have to support themselves.
This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for this is the mother still has bills that are keeping the house and such for the child to come back too. The only way a father will not have to pay is if the court order says that during summer possession the father does not have to pay child support, but normally in this case the mother would not be obligated to pay child support to the father. However in the end, people should do what is best for the children and not worry about the dollars they receive or don't receive.
It's too late now. If you didn't want children you needed to plan ahead before your ex partner got pregnant. There are ways to avoid conception. As the child's father you will have to pay child support as long as the child's mother files a petition for child support.
No, 11 years too late, and dangerous. I growing number of relationships with mother are destroyed by these actions when the adult child learns their mother had been lying about getting child support.
Samething that happens to all fathers they either stick with the mother of their child or pay child support which the mother can go after you or your family for if you are too young to have a job.
No unless the minor is too young to get a job so he can pay child support. In cases like that the parents can have to pay until he is old enough to work.
Yes, under limited circumstances, mosst commonly wwhere the mother didn't know who the father was and the stepparent was the primary influence.
The answer to both of your questions is yes.
Yes, even if it involves statutory rape on the part of the woman.
You likely have to pay a percent of income, from the sound of it, so they take a percent of refund too as that is income being returned to you.
Yes, the father does have to pay child support married or not. As long as you ARE the father. If the father is ordered to pay child support by the court, then that order stands until the child is emancipated or if the order is modified.
No, it's two years too late for the mother to file and a year too late for the daughter to file.
If you agreed to dismiss a claim for child support arrears you cannot file a new case regarding those same arrearages. If you agreed to forego child support prior to the child reaching 18 then it is too late to go back now.
