Can you still get childsupport in the state of Florida if the non custodial parent signs over his rights?
Yes, unless the child is adopted.
What if custody of a child changes and the former non custodial parent is in arrears on childsupport will the new noncustodial parent have to pay?
That is up to the interpretation of the courts and why the arrears exist.
Can a judge change custody if the custodial parent is in contempt of current orders?
Yes. If the custodial parent is breaking the court orders the judge can give custody to the non custodial parent if he/she is fit.
Does a non custodial parent have to pay back childsupport payments if they get injuried and can't work?
Yes, but he should file for SSD and a modification. see links below
Does child support go up when your awarded a lawsuit?
If there is a current order for support the custodial parent would need to file suit to have the amount increased regardless of the circumstances of the non custodial parent.
What do you about support when you are the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent wants to hand over the child to you?
They can't simply "give the child to you." You need to return to the court and have the custody order modified so you'll have legal custody. It will go easier if the current custodial parent consents to the modification. At that time the current support order should be terminated and you can request child support if you wish.
What valid reasons can lead a custodial parent to withhold visitation?
There can be legitimate reasons for withholding a visitation. Those reasons must be explained by testimony in a court hearing if the non-custodial parent files a motion for contempt against the custodial parent. The custodial parent should be well prepared with dates and times and reasons for withholding the visit along with witnesses if possible and should be reporting the circumstances to their attorney.Possible reasons include:A court order to that effect.Suspicion that the child is being abused or neglected. This must be followed up as soon as possible with a temporary court order until the situation can be fully evaluated by the court.The non-custodial parent appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they arrive to pick the child up.The child is very sick.The non-custodial parent arrives at an unscheduled time.The non-custodial parent does not appear in person to take the child. If they send a substitute without the prior approval of the custodial parent the custodial parent could refuse to allow the pick up.
If arrearage is owed can custodial parent claim child if courts gave tax exemption to non custodial parent?
I'm not sure what state you are in, but in Utah a non custodial parent may NOT claim the child if they are not current on child support. You need to check your individual state. I'm thinking the custodial parent could claim the child if the non custodial parent isn't able to. I don't see why they would allow the exemption to go to waste. It's not like your taking it away from him, just using it because NCP can't.
