That depends on individual state laws
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
The mother can apply to pay for her and her child. For the child to do so (if she's a teen mom for example) they will count to see how much income the household have first since she lives with her parent. You really need to ask a social worker since you leave very little details.
There is no such thing as "social security child support." If the child's parent(s) is eligible for Social Security, the child is probably eligible, also. In such a case, the child's benefit is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
No, you can't. First, you can't sue a parent for child support. Second, there is nobody to collect it from since your father has passed. However, if your father has an estate you could contact the attorney handling the estate or a private attorney to determine if you have any rights in his estate as an heir at law.
First of all they have to be in a jurisdiction that allows emancipation. Then you apply to the court and show how you can take care and support yourself.
Probably not. Retroactive child support is typically awarded (or not) in the original (first) order of support.
First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
Child support has first take with any moneys that you get. If you are behind in child support, they will take their percentage out of any money you get.
Yes. If the the first cousin is one of the parents of the child and has a job but refuses to pay for food and clothing, and you are caring for the child, you qualify to file for child support. You may not be able to marry the first cousin as that is illegal in some but not all jurisdictions, but you can file for child support.
If it's your money, yes, but you will have to go through their appeals process first. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you may then sue the State in the circuit courts.
Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues and parent are not required to pay to see their children. However, you have the right and responsibility to pursue the child support issue. Every non-custodial parent should pay toward the support of their children. The court has many resources for enforcing child support orders. First, you need to make certain you have obtained a child support order. If the father doesn't pay you need to file a motion for contempt of court and stay on top of it. Ask the court's assistance in collecting.
