No. The purpose of collecting back child support is to financially reimburse the custodial parent for the support he or she provided in the past. It is not intended to provide present or future support. The debt is owed entirely to the mother in this case, since she was the one who provided financial support to the child.
There are cases in which an adult can receive the back child support owed to their parent, but these usually involve the death of that parent.
Yes the mother can be a minor and petition for child support. She has the same rights as an adult in that case. Or I should say the child has the same rights regardless of how old the parents are.
No, 11 years too late, and dangerous. I growing number of relationships with mother are destroyed by these actions when the adult child learns their mother had been lying about getting child support.
Is the intent to avoid paying child support in states where it runs past age 18?
Single mother has sole control and custody, regardless of age, at the time of the birth. Father has a child support obligation, only.
a underage 16 year old mother who is considered an adult and has rights to her own child should have rights to herself aswell, and to where she can live. by all means now that she is a parent with rights she should have rights to her self.
To be treated as a juvenile, rather than as an adult. To be able to have the support from his or her parents.
If your child is 18 years of age or older, and considered an adult, then no you do not have any basis with which to sue the father for child support. That child is considered an adult by legal standards and not a dependent. Only for full-time dependents do you have any grounds for child support.
Medical emancipation for herself and her child is the only emancipation a minor mother get when having a child. So you decide over that but you are not considered an adult when it comes to other things.
extremely unlikely
I am presuming that you're asking if one parent can relinquish her parental rights and basically give the child to another adult who is unrelated and not the child's other parent. The basic rule is that if one parent terminates her rights then the other parent has those rights unless the rights of that adult were previously terminated. I am sure that in any case the adult to whom the child was given must officially adopt the child by going through certain judicial proceedings.
No, not likely. If you are over 18 yrs. of age, you are considered an adult, and child support is exactly what it is...."child-support" for CHILDREN, not adults!
To get emancipated from your mother at 18 years old, you typically do not need to take any legal steps as you are already considered an adult in most places. You can start making your own decisions and handling your own affairs. It's a good idea to have a conversation with your mother to establish clear boundaries and expectations as you transition into adulthood.
