Will you have to pay child support for a child who is already being claimed by another man?

No, because if they are adopted he has taken on full responsibility however if he is only living with or has only married your x then the children remain within the accepted realm of your responsibility.


What does 99.24 mean in a paternity test?

Congratulations, It means that you are the father of the child. DNA is never 100% the most that you will ever see is 99.99999999. I have seen the Court accept 95% as paternity. In my sons case it was 97.9999 with the child and Father only the Mother was not present.


does the mother have to give written permission before a man can find out if a child is his thru a paternity test.?

Only a court can order a paternity test. The individual must petition the court first. The court will order the test, which is done under very specific conditions to assure that the right individuals are tested. The mother of a child has no obligation to subject a child to any testing simply based on the request of another person. When the court orders the test, the mother must then comply. The only paternity test a mother must submit the child for is one ordered by a judge. A court-ordered paternity test must be done under specific conditions to assure that the swabs are indeed from the individuals in question and that the results are processed by a lab certified by the courts. The father must petition the court for the test. There will be a hearing and the mother (or guardian) of the child will be instructed of the court order and told how to proceed.


Child born out of wedlock mean both parents have joint custody?

A child born out of wedlock means only the mother has legal custody. Paternity must be established by a court order or stipulation.


Who pays child support when no legal custody has been established?

Determining child support has only one goal which is to determine medical, financial and daycare support. Custody is NOT determined when child support is established. To establish child support you have to go to court. Otherwise if the mother was unwed and paternity/custody is not established she automatically has sole custody which entitles you to pay her child support but you are not entitled to visitation, school/dr records etc unless she gives them to you... If custody is not established then the mother has custody


Matt is the Egyptian of what?

"Matt" is the official approval of the mother (the Egyptian queen) that the child is actually the offspring of the Pharaoh. This is necessary to assure a true patriarchal succession since the only assurance of the child's paternity is the word not of the father but of the mother. Without the queen's approval (her official declaration) paternity of the next pharaoh, and his right to rule, would always be in question.


If the father is not on the birth certificate does he have parental rights in Texas?

No. An unmarried father has no right to keep the child from her mother unless there is a court order to that effect. He has no personal legal authority to keep the child. In the absence of any order, if he takes the child and fails to return the child to the mother she should call the police.Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.


How can an affidavit be amended such as an affidavit of paternity.?

You can only "amend" a paternity affidavit if you have a paternity test done to prove or disprove paternity... In many cases this is something that the state will do (ie of child support orders)


Can You get child support from an ex even if he isn't the bio dad?

Only if he signed an acknowledgment of paternity or his paternity is presumed because the two of you were married when the child was born/conceived.


How do you revoke paternity right if the father only acknowledge the child but the child does not bear his father's surname?

There is a fairly brief period in which the man may rescind his acknowledgment of paternity (in Illinois, 60 days). Surnames are meaningless in paternity determinations.


What is the Mississippi state limitations on just finding out the you fathered a child but paternity has not been proven?

In my experience, with the exception of the child being over age 18, there is no statute of limitations on establishing paternity. There could be an exception if the child is a part of a family whereby the mother never told her husband that he was not the father of the child. Understand that establishing paternity only acknowledges financial responsibility. It grants no parental rights, even after paying court ordered child support. You need to file a separate motion as regards it. see related links


Do you legally have to take a paternity test?

If the father is listed as the father on the baby's birth certificate, a court will be reluctant to order him to take a paternity test. If he is not listed as the father on the birth certificate, you can file a lawsuit to order him to prove (or disprove) his paternity through a paternity test.
