In the state of Oklahoma if a noncustodial parent gives up all parental rights to her child does she still have to pay child support or can it be dropped?
Courts usually only allows parent to give up parental rights if the child is being adopted. But if they would allow her, it would be for the custodial parent to decide whether they would need child support or not. If they need support from the state the state will go after the mother first.
Can custodial parent move out of state if there is an existing child support order in one state?
No. If there is a child support order that means a state court has jurisdiction over the child. If the parent who is paying child support has any parental rights of custody or visitation the custodial parent would need the NC parent's consent and court approval to move out of state. The existing orders would have to be modified.No. If there is a child support order that means a state court has jurisdiction over the child.

Does a father have the right to say he don't want somebody around his child?
If not married/divorced, he can decide when the child is with him. If the child is with the other parent he would have to prove in court that the person is bad for the child to be around so he can get a restraining order or he has no right to decide who the child sees when the child is with the other parent.
When can a child decide they do not want to visit other parent?
I would guess it would be at 16 because you have priority
When a parent gives up parental right's does a child of sixteen still have the right to live with that parent?
No they do not. You will need someone to have custody of you. And if the parent want their child to stay and be the parent they would not give up their rights. There would be no point. To decide where to live you have to be 18 so this is something your parents decide for you and by giving up his/hers rights they can not make any decisions regarding the child. The only thing they still have a right to do is to pay child support.
What age can a child decide which parent he would live with?
Once custody has been determined by a court it would take another court order to change that arrangement. The court may listen to a child's request to change custody but it is under no obligation to modify the custody order at the child's request. The court would be looking for an appropriate reason to order a change in custody such as the custodial parent being unfit and the change being in the best interest of the child.A child is free to decide which parent to live with in every state once they have reached eighteen years of age.
Does the executor decide who can live in their parent's home?
Its possible if the will states it and there is no state law that would prevent it.
Is a step father a parent?
I would say it all comes down to opinion. I think legally they are because they are taking care of the child and are also married to the child's mother/father. The child may not like them and decide they are not their parent.

Does the wife of the noncustodial parent that owes child support have to pay the custodial parent child support if the noncustodial parent is not working?
It depends on the state. If your state calculates child support based on household income, then yes, she would be required to pay her husband's child support. If your state calculates child support based on only the non-custodial parent's income, then no, should would not be required to pay. However, her husband would still owe that money, and it will continue to accumulate as a debt until he pays it.
What laws would force a 15-year-old to return to the custodial parent's home if they ran away to the non-custodial parent's home?
It depends on the state, but most states have a certain age set where the child can decide which parent they want to live with. Usually, it is around 13 or 14, but it can be different. If your child hasn't reached that set age, then they must continue to live with the custodial parent.
Does back child support go to the overaged child or to the parent?
The custodial parent, it is assumed that he or she supported the child with their income. If however a state agency was involved in the support of the child that agency would receive the arrearages.
