Alimony to the non-custodial parent may still be ordered; depends on the circumstances.
Child support payments are based on both the needs of the child and the ability of the parent to provide them.
No court will give you custody of a child you kidnapped and hid for 6 months in another state. At this point it's a question if you will ever be allowed to see the child again.
Yes who ever has the child legally can file for child support. But you have to demonstrate to the court that the child has been residing with you and you have the physical custody and you want to keep the physical custody and give the other parent visitation and joint legal custody. This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.
Money will rarely if ever be a consideration for the court with regard to the best interest of the child. That is why the non-custodial parent will pay child support. If the mother is a good parent other than that, it is very unlikely that a court would remove the child from her.
Yes, depending on their crime and the circumstances of the other parent.
No, it's a matter for the obligor to report the situation to the court, and either request a modification of support, and/or custody order as soon as they discover that the child is not living with the custodial parent. The court can investigate the situation.
yes...if the father has custody of the child or children then a woman has to pay child support just like a man.
yes, if you meet the requirements IRS Deduction Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year. The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent. Time spent in Day Care and/or School is deducted from the total.
No not in any way.How ever if you go to www.nwjustice.org. and to child support you will find that the step parent IS responsible for the stepchildren so long as the step parent is married to the biological parent
Yes, if the schizophrenia is under control, that would not justify keeping the child out of the home.
A friend of mine had the same issue. He paid some of the child support. When he and the mother went to court, the court looked at how much he earned at the time and the time of the child support claim. The court determained how much he had to pay every month and deducted the ammount he paid the previous months and what ever was left they added on top of his current child support for a period of time. After he paid the amount which was owed to the child he started to pay the regular amount set by the court.
While there is no statue of limitation for collecting court ordered unpaid back child support, there is for unordered support...the age of 21 of the dependent child. The child at the age of 18 may sue the noncustodial parent for unpaid support that was not ordered by the courts. This has been done at least twice.
Yes. If the parent ever need financial help from the state, they will come after child support from the non-custodial parent first.
