The father is responsible for paying at least the state mandated minimum in support regardless of what type of income or assistance the mother has. That is considered her portion of support, child support is yours.
If the child is biologically yours you cannot get out of child support. Why would you not want to take care of your child? And if the isn't yours i think u should still treat it like it was yours!!
YES, NAME DOESN'T MATTER. AS LONG AS CHILD IS YOURS AND IT HAS BEEN PROVEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Of course not - paternity must be established before support is ordered; I sense that there's more to this question.
If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.
If you have paid child support and it turns out the child is not yours you are entitled to sue for repayment of the money.
If you sign a birth certificate and the child is not biologically yours, you may still be legally considered the child's father and have parental responsibilities, such as child support and visitation rights. It is important to be sure of paternity before signing a birth certificate.
In the state of Pa...I don't know their laws. But you would think if support was not included in the agreement how come/change of circumstances? Support your kids don't wait for someone to make you. Is the support agreement legal, is it registered with the courts or just an agreement between the two. Yes I believe child support agency can administratively initiate a support order if none is in place.
Yes and no. see links below
Ethically, if the child is yours then you pay support. The circumstances are irrelevant.
You can stop child support payments on the grounds that the child is not your biological child only if you did not know that when you agreed to the support, and if a Court approves your request to stop.
