With the exception of cases involving Welfare, child support is not mandatory in any state. However, this is not a good idea for the obligor parent, especially one who wishes to simply pay the other parent directly.
In a California case, the children (age 18 & 22) of a separated man were allowed to sue their father for $134 million dollars in retroactive child support. The parents were never married. However, since 1988 the father voluntarily paid the mother $18,000.00 a month in child support, without a court order, so it was a called gift by the court.
With the exception of cases involving welfare, child support is not mandatory in any state so yes, a custodial parent can sign a waive of back support if he or she so desires. If the child is receiving some form of federal or state aid, in that case, no.
Usually the case will be closed and the custodial parent will have to re-file in the state where she/he resides.
Child support does not belong to the child but rather to the custodial parent to help compensate for the cost of raising the child until he or she is 18 or no longer attends school as a fulltime student. The custodial parent can however seek payment for back past child support from the non custodial parent.
if a child is not working can a parent charge them rent
Yes, child support and custodial arrangements are separate issues and are treated as such by the court.
If you by teen means 18, yes since they are then emancipated. But not younger than 18, that is illegal. You are obligated to care for your children until they are 18yo.
The custodial parent can waive the right to child support if he or she so chooses. If the person was released from custody on those grounds then it would appear to be legitimate. However, if there was an order of support in place before the custodial parent waived her rights it is likely any arrearages would still be owed. This is especially true when support payments are being overseen by a state agency. It would be in the best interest of the involved party to be certain of their legal status in this matter to avoid future problems.
so they could party to the dubstep
no
I think he can leave the home when he is 18. * The legal age of majority for Florida is 18. The minor is required to remain in the custodial parent's home until that time unless the custody agreement or the court stipulates otherwise.
Child support comes first, if there is not already an award in place - contact the District Attorney's of office in the county where you live. If the parent is going to college to be able to have a career with better pay, it may be worth it for you to cooperate as that parent will be able to pay more support once they graduate. If they are going to college with the idea they can avoid paying child support, because they aren't working, they maybe in for a surprise to find out the court has heard it all and will tell them to find a job.
Of course, you have to have your parent or guardian with you though.
Yes because north Carolina and south carolina used to be one state but when tennsions started growing between the north and south they split so south Carolina was part of the south that supported slavery
