The State enforces court orders, and sometimes establishes paternity/support administratively in cases where the courts are not involved.

Im a single mum who care for my child when will i be receiving child support from the father.?

If you have gone to family court to get an order for child support you will. Don't wait for the father to volunteer to give you money. Get it in writing through the courts and if he doesn't pay he can be arrested.


Does wage garnishment affect child support amount?

No - there must be an order for support entered by a court or the State's child support agency, but if a retroactive order is issued, your wages will be garnished. There has been a problem with employers receiving phony claims for child support garnishment in recent months. By the time the man confirms there is no claim and notifies employer, the money is already gone. If you have a child, you need to establish an order. see links

What do you do if you are the non custodial parent paying child support and the mother of the child drops him off at your house and leaves and have not heard from her for over six months?

You should have gone to file for immediate custody as well as child support to be stopped after not hearing from the mother after a week. Your best chance would have been to inform the child support agency and the family law office at the court house what has happened and they can help you.


How do you take away parental rights for non payment of child support?

The parent have to give up his parental rights voluntarily or the court can do it but child support can be taken out of his wages if he refuses to pay. There are many ways the court can see to that he pays. They don't end someones parental rights for not paying child support because even if the parental rights are gone they still have to pay child support. If you mean his custody or visitation rights, they are a separate issue and does not involve child support. One have to see to what is best for the child and try to let the child have both parents in their life. So go back to the court that issued the child support order and tell them that he is breaking the order by not paying.


What if your child is gone for a few months but still lives with you dos the other parent still have to pay child saport?

Yes. Any changes in the child support have to be done with the court where it was issued and for a few months it would be very complicated. Child support goes to so many different things that a couple of months would not make much of a difference.


What happens if your child is not included in your will when you die?

In most states there will be an automatic change to the will. The state doesn't like having children with no support. But you should get a will made particularly if you want to control who takes care of the child after you are gone.


Can child support be included in a bankruptcy?

One a few type of financial obligation that cannot be discharged via bankruptcy is child support. If you have gone through a divorce or some type of divorce or separation settlement and you are required to pay child support or child maintenance by court order, the act of filing bankruptcy will not discharge this responsibility for you to continue paying it. Child support payments are exempt from any type of bankruptcy filing that the consumer might do, whether chapter 7 or chapter 13.

What if the child's custodial parent is gone for most of the year and the child wants to be with the non custodial parent?

Then the child should petition the court (or have the non-custodial parent petition the court, more likely) to modify the custody order. If the custodial parent is "gone for most of the year" and leaving the child in the care of someone else, the court will probably consider that a significant factor.


Do you still have to pay child support if your child is a runaway and has been gone for more than a month?

Yes, in most cases child support payments are still required even if the child is a runaway. Child support is based on the non-custodial parent's responsibility to financially support their child, regardless of the child's current living situation. It is important to continue making payments according to the court order until legal arrangements are modified.
