This is my first tax season as an adult. However, I did pay taxes for the last couple of years. It depends on how much your child made, I think. I'd file them just in case. I would to be on the safe side just in case she made over $3500; she may qualify for a stimulus refund for the 2008 year..just like 2007
yup
If an intoxicated minor is taken to a hospital in New York, they can pay for the bill themselves. They will still likely tell the child's parents, because they are a minor.
Yes. The child is your baby. As long as your a fit mother the child cannot be taken away from you. If you are a minor, your parents still have custody of you, but you have custody of your child.
The most important factor in deciding whom a minor child lives with is to figure out what is in the best interest of the child. This involves checking whether the child will be supervised, well-fed, and well taken care of.
No.
The child cannot be taken away merely because the parent is a minor. However, if the parent is unfit in some manner (ie drug abuser), or they are unable to care for the child properly or provide the child with the basic necessitates of life (shelter, food, etc,), then that's a different situation.
check for any injurys to the child
The child benefit check will go to whoever has the legal custody of the child.
Ask for it back.
Child support is worked out by your annual income so you should not be paying more than you can afford. I believe there is a percentage of your wages that you must still have after child support is taken. Check with your child support how much that is. In my country no more than 40% of your wages can be taken for child support.
In Georgia, having a child does not automatically emancipate a minor. Emancipation would require a formal legal process where the minor petitions the court for emancipation. Having a child may be taken into consideration as a factor in determining if emancipation is in the minor's best interest.
Any money designated as taxable income is subject to garnishment for child support.
