How much does a person owe in child support?
This depends on where you live. Every state has its own laws on child support. Pls. visit The Child Support Web - see my bio page.
Can you get child support even though your husband signed the birth certificate?
Do you mean, can you collect child support from another man, even though your husband assumed legal parentage by signing the child's birth certificate? Generally, no, not easily anyway. This issue, and the related laws, is complex with no clear uniformity in the United States. In most states, Equitable Paternity is the rule of law, meaning any child born of the marriage is the child of the husband by default. Depending on the laws in the state where you reside, you may have to get your husband's name removed from the birth certificate, revoking the legitimacy of the child, then get the bio father into court via a summons for a court ordered paternity test, then if/when parentage is established, go after the bio father for child support. In doing so, you will (or should anyway) also hammer out a custody agreement allowing the bio dad visitation and decision making rights in your child's life. It's also highly unlikely the courts would order retroactive child support for the period of time your husband was providing financial support for the child. You really need the advice from an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence to discuss your options and how it can be done, and even if it can be done.
In the state of Massachusetts if a biological father is unaware of a child and the child is adopted by his stepfather is the bio dad responsible for any back child support?
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
If a grandparent has custody of grandchildren and the bio parent wants to regain custody will the bio parent owe back child support before custody is decided?
This seems extremely unlikely.
Man signed birth certificate that's not the father there is a bio father and the child is not living with the mother which is unfit so does the bio father have full custody?
No, as he has no legal rights to the child even if he sign the certificate himself. You will need to file for custody. see links below.
If not the proven father do you have to pay child support?
Depends on circumstances. In New York, a man has to pay hild support to his ex wife whose currently married to the bio dad. see links below
Can your husband adopt your child that you have custody of?
Not until the parental rights of the biological father have been terminated.There are a couple ways to do that:The bio father gives his consent and voluntarily surrenders his parental rights.You go to court and can get them to involuntarily terminate his parental rights; this one is much more difficult: if the bio father has abandoned the child, isn't paying child support, is in jail or is a danger to the child (or something similar), you may have a case, but if he's visiting and paying support you will have to go with the first option.
Does child support payments stop after the child graduates high school?
The only time child support stops is when the child turns 18 and it is paid in full with no back child support owed. If there is any child support owed however it still can be collected even if the child is 18 and out of school. The only other way child support may stop is if there is also an adoption even then if there is support owed before the adoption they still get that money. This is all of course if you have a child support order through the courts or it's in a divorce decree.
Can you be put on child surpport if you did not sign birth certicate?
Not signing a birth certificate does not remove one's responsibility. If you are not the bio parent of the child, attempt to arrange for testing that will be evidence of that. Otherwise, you are the parent of a child.
Can a spouse get child support if legally married and had a child prior to marriage and the husband raise and and supported him and the biological father is unknown?
In many states, yes, but there's a drawback. If she really does know who the father is, she can still stop the support against the stepfather, as any time, than file for retroactive child support against the bio dad. This has been turning up in a number of paternity fraud cases of late.
Bio-mother order to pay child support Me and Husband are non-bio to child but all 3 have joint managing conservatorship I am primary parent Will he have to pay me child support if we divorce?
You need either an attorney or a psychiatrist to help you deal with this. If there's a significant probability that you're going to get a divorce, you need an attorney. If there isn't, and you're morbidly curious about something that you don't think is likely anyway, then you need a psychiatrist. Ultimately, who has to pay child support to whom depends on the court decree, and it's nearly impossible to predict ahead of time what that might be without a lot of additional detail, which is where an attorney might be able to help you.
