Can your sons father get in trouble for not paying childsupport?

Answer 1

No. However in most cases a child support order can be filed once paternity has been established and said order will become retroactive once the minor reaches the state's legal age of majority.

Answer 2

No because if the father is fathering the child he is giving the child support by being with him and maybe buying stuff for him. * No, the parents would not be legally obligated to pay child support, the ethical issues are a different matter. If paternity is established to the satisfaction of the court then the minor can be ordered to begin paying support once he reaches the age of legal majority (18) and in some cases pay back support from the time paternity was established. There are situations where the property of a minor can be seized for child support purposes, but that is a complicated issue based on individual circumstances.

Answer 3

In most cases in the US, a minor is not liable for paying child support until he or she reaches the legal age of majority.

The rare exception is if the underage person has an income source which warrants support being paid (active trust fund or inheritance, celebrity status, etc.).

When it concerns unmarried couples, child support, custody, visitation and other matters cannot be addressed by the court until the child is born and parentage is established regardless of the age of the participants.

When the minor reaches the legal age of majority he or she can be ordered to pay support based on their ability to do so, but arrears would not apply.

But, if the minor was sexually abuse by a much older female, he is still obligate for child support at some point, even retroactive back to the date of the birth.

Answer 4

of course they do. If they were old enough to make the baby, then they have to pay for the baby, or else they can go to jail.

Answer 5

It depends. Assuming the courts have ordered child support, then not paying child support violates that order and the father can be arrested.

Answer 6

The question is not clear enough to render an appropriate answer.
