A child support order is valid even when the person has been incarcerated, it is not "placed on hold". One of the terms of his or her release will be that they pay child support arrearages.
If the person owns property and/or assets they can be seized and sold or have be incumbered by a lien even while the person is imprisoned.
The custodial parent can enlist the aid of private counsel to take action against assets and/or property or file a request with the state's division of child support enforcement.
Typically you don't, but check into the TANIF program, they may be able to help until he gets out. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement from Bush to Bush II (The Return) ruled that those serving time cannot be obligated to pay, nor accrue arrears during their interment.
The parent that is taking care of the child will get somewhat of a 'grant' from the Goverment, until the parent in jail is released, then he/she will have to continue paying the child support, or risk going to jail again.
You must obtain a child support order from the court of jurisdiction in your area and then file a contempt in that court if he defaults on the child support payments. It is not easy to pursue a father who won't pay but your child deserves to be supported by both parents and you can get help if you are persistent.
According to Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement, you cannot.
You don't. In fact, if your ex is smart, he will petition the courts to terminate or at least suspend, his support obligation.
If he's on SSD, than you can get the separate child benefit check. If on SSI, than there's no obligation. You go to welfare.
If the father goes to prison his responsibility for child support does not stop. For all practical purposes, he will have no income and will not be able to pay you one cent. Do not expect to get any money out of him while his is in prison.
You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to. If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.
You have to pay the amount of child support ordered by the courts. The only way your inheritance might come into play is if your ex decides to take you back to court to get more child support.
You can't. The child has the right to be supported by her father and they both have the right to a relationship with each other. The father should pay child support and also have a regular visitation schedule.
In general, child support is a percentage of net income. When calculating support for younger children, support actually ordered and paid for older children is subtracted from net income.
Only if you qualify for Welfare. Child support arrears cannot accrue on someone in prison.
yes
You don't. Once the child is an adult, child support is moot and the ex is home free.
no unless he can not support the child
If you mean, the child's mother (ex-wife) has custody, the child's father (ex-husband) is obligated or potentially obligated for support.
Go to child support enforcement.
Yes, until convicted. Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement ruled that those in prison cannot be ordered to pay, or accumulate child support arrears.
Only if you can collect Welfare. Child support cannot be collected from, or arrears accumulate on, a person in prison according to Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement.
No, child support cannot be cleared in a bankruptcy.
Uh, no, you cannot.
If you mean "turned it in," you keep pushing the child support office until they give you some definite answers. Keep in mind that the answer might be, "we can't find him," "he's in jail/prison," "he doesn't have any money" or, "he's dead."
I suggest that you get in touch with your State's child support agency.
