No, if the mother voluntarily gives cutody to someone else, she can no longer be paid child support because she no longer has custody of the child. What happens now is the father can obtain custody because he does have rights or the person who has custody and have legal guardianship can file for assistance in which child support can be included or filed.
First, without a court order, the mother cannot prohibit the father from seeing the child. If he has not voluntarily given up his rights to the child, and a judge has not created a custody schedule, the father has as much right to see the child as the mother.Second, if the father does voluntarily give up his parenting rights, or a judge does involuntarily remove his parenting rights (or awards full custody to the mother), the father would still owe child support until his child reaches the age of majority and has graduated high school.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
yes
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
No. Custodial or visitations issues and child support are completely different matters. Parental rights can only be relinquished voluntarily by the parent or permanently terminated by the court.
Custody will only be affected if the step-parent is an unfit parent, abuses the child, or is a registered sex offender.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
You may have to pay child support to the one who has custody of your children.
If you're the father
The court will require that both biological parents be in agreement to relinquishing custodial rights to a qualified related person. In some cases (such as military deployment) the court will accept a signed and witnessed affidavit by the non present parent. A parent(s) cannot arbitrarily consent to permanent custody of a minor child to a relative, family friend, etc. Temporary custody (generally 90 days or less) can be done legally as long as the proper procedures are followed. The prescribed court procedures for the state in which the minor child resides must be followed if the minor child is to be permanently removed from parental custody. If such action is granted by the court the biological parent(s) may still be required to pay child support, obtain medical insurance and other financial needs of the child.
yes
Yes he can. The court will award full custody to the mother or to a legal guardian if necessary. However, the father will be required to pay child support.
