Are you thinking that promiscuous irresponsibility provides some kind of legal immunity? Yes, he is obligated. Whether he is able is another question.
This is interpretive as even sole custody fathers can be obligated to pay.
There is a great number of teenage fathers who support their children past one year. It is estimated that about half of these fathers fall into this category.
No. If he chose to give your adult children money, then that was his decision and you are not obligated to reimburse him for any of it. And to take it a bit further, even if the children were still minor after the divorce and he chose to give them money, you would not be obligated to reimburse him for that, either. Child support money goes to the custodial parent for support of the children, not directly to the children.
It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction, but in many cases, parents are only legally obligated to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which is typically 18. Some jurisdictions may require child support to continue while the child is still a dependent, such as through college, but this varies.
Only if you love your children and/or wish them to be supported, deadbeat.
If by your state laws, you are obligated to pay beyond high school, than you can request that your payments go directly to the children, PLUS file a motion that the amount the residential parent was obligated to spend on the children, also be sent to them. In a Missouri case, when the child took up residence with her boyfriend, while away at college, and was no longer living with the mother, the mother was obligated to pay her part, based on the child support guidelines, to the daughter. The mother lost on appeal. It was her belief that only the father should be obligated. With two child support payments, the daughter was getting $1800 a month for living expenses.See related link below
Depends who has custody of the children as well as employment let alone the laws where you reside.
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.
Only biological or adoptive parents are responsible for supporting their minor children. "New" spouses are not legally obligated to financially support children of their mate's previous relationship(s).
Yes even minor parents are obligated to support their children. Who else would do it? The grandparents have no obligation to do so.
No. Only biological parents are responsible for the support and care of their minor child/children. However, a non obligated SO or spouse might be financially affected by child support arrearages and/or obligations. That is why it is advisable for a non obligated person to keep his or her funds in a separate account.
Yes, as with anyone taking the child. Will you be paying child support, or do you think mothers are not equally obligated as fathers?
