The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.
Leaves them permanently or in violation of court ordered custody/visitation time? In either circumstances, the non-custodial parent may file an action for contempt of court against the custodial parent and/or file for custody/visitation modification based on the same.
No, child support is not retroactive unless there is already a order of support in place from the court. When there is an active order and a minor leaves the custodial parents home either with or without permission, support should still be paid as required until the matter is resolved in court.
The non-custodial parent can file for custody.
no the child is already 18 then they are legally an adult and the parent doesnt need to pay child support
No, the parent whom the child began residing would need to file for custody and also support before the original custodial parent would be obligated. However there would be no guarantee that a court would grant the motion.
The non-custodial parent has the right to file a motion against the custodial parent based on the same. As a result, the non-compliant parent may be held in contempt of court. If they are, penalties may include a monetary fine, jail or modification to the original custody order.
Maybe.
If your spouse voluntarily leaves the home, they are still obligated to financially support their children. Child support is based on the income and circumstances of both parents, not on who is living in the home. Therefore, your spouse would still be required to pay child support.
All US states honor and enforce child support orders issued by another state. The obligated parent is still bound by the terms of the support order regardless of his or her state of residency. The same actions can be taken to enforce the order in the state where the non custodial parent resides as would be possible in the state where the original order was issued.
It depends on the exact language in the custody decree, but ordinarily a custodial parent is allowed to place a minor child in the temporary care of any responsible adult.
the non custodial parent should always cover his / her back any support you pay pay it in a money order or pay it by check. always have proof or better yet a paper trail of what you are paying. in court custodial and non custodial parents play the word game, his work against her's. you need to proove that you are paying. if you cant proove you are doing your self more harm than good. if you buy clothes for your child. keep your reciepts so if you as the non custodial parent need to proove that you are not a dead beat you can proove it. Cash money has no real value once it leaves your hand. some custodial parents have been creative in making a $500 cash payment of child support verbally turn into $10. You always need a receipt / Proof !!!!! get a money order or a cashiers check, or a notarized letter to go with any payment you make. Custodial parents have also tried to claim they do not want to go through the motions of having anything documented. You both have to remember it is in what is in the best interest of your child. You would be suprised to hear of how many parents treat there beloved children as pawns and trophies, and as ways to make the other parent misirable. Unfortunately it does not start out that way but in many cases it ends up that way. GET YOUR RECEIPTS and proove you are supporting your child and most importantly Reserach the laws for the state you live and if you and your child live in two different states... check the laws for both states. If you both agree not to have support sanctioned y the court get your money orders ready or open a savings account for the child adn deposit the money in there by Money order witht the custodial parent having access to the child's account. that is a perfect paper trail.
