No. In some states they may enforce retroactive support or support for while the "child" attends a 4 year university. Retroactive support is generally only backdated 2 years from notice.

How do you make an ex boyfriend either sign over his rights to the children he never sees or pay child support?

He already did. Usually, termination of parental rights occurs either preparatory to an adoption, or as the result of a trial in which the parent is found to be unfit. To get child support, you first need an order for support, issued either by the courts or the child support agency in your State. That's the easy part. If you're having trouble collecting, contact your State's child support agency (even if the ex lives elsewhere). Be polite but persistent.


Will the father of your son still have to pay child support if he is unemployed?

Yes, if the order is still in effect. He must obey the child support order or he will be found in contempt of a court order. If his income has decreased he can petition the court to modify the child support order.


If your ex was granted custody and you pay child support how do you proceed when your 16-year-old desires to live with you full-time instead and how do you reverse the child support?

Change of custody and/or child support can only be done through the appropriate court procedures. The person must file a petition to modify/amend the original orders in the court of jurisdiction. Support orders must be adhered to until a a ruling is made on the status, if this is not done, the person ordered to pay the support could possibly be found in contempt of a court order.


Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?

yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.


If you sign birth certificate do you have to pay child support if later you are found to not be the father?

No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.

What legal ways are there to get out of paying child support?

You'd have to find someone to adopt the child. The social security agency in your country would not let someone abandon their parental responsibilities unless they have found someone to take their place.
