If the mother of a child took the father off child support can they put him back on?

no it goes to the mother.

Marriage of the mother, father or child have no relationship to the collection of a debt.

The father probably still owes the back child support, but it may become more difficult to collect.

If you're in the US, no, a child cannot sue his parent for child support (payment for child support is not due to the child).

Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father… Read More

Petition the court for a modification. If the back support was for any state aid the mother was on, then it can't be forgiven. If it isn't for that, then the mother can write a letter saying she forgives the back support owed to her.

Your mother should have pursued your father in court for child support when you were young. In most jurisdictions you have no legal standing to sue your father for child support now, and especially if there was no original child support order. If there was an order at some time your mother may be able to sue for arrears but that seems not to be the case.

The two concepts are not related. Payment of child support is a financial responsibility. It does not depend on whether you see your children or not.

If the mother doesn't seek a child support order no one will make the father pay. However, keep in mind that the mother can always change her mind and get back child support in the future. If the child and/or mother are receiving any state assistance the father will be required to pay child support. Fathers are responsible for supporting their children. If the mother doesn't need the child support then she should put it… Read More

mother of my child moved out of the country with telling anyone and i owe back child support, ive been given a petition to go to court what will happen ? its in ny

Yes, until the order is overturned, and provided the mother is not on Welfare.

Child support arrears do not go away. If the state supported his child for a period of time then he must pay the arrears.

This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for… Read More

No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!

It depends on the rules of your state. In Oregon, yes.

Yes. If you have been determined to be the father the court can assess back child support depending on state laws. The mother may have been recently made aware that she is entitled to child support. The court will render a decision.

For what is he wasn't required to pay?

The parents have to go back to court to file a modification of the custody order. They should also terminate any child support order that obligates the father to pay child support

The spouse is not obligated to pay but your incomes may be taken into account when they determine how much he pays every month on his back child support.

The father of the child (whether he was ever legally married to the child's mother or not) is obligated to pay the child support. His new spouse cannot be LEGALLY obligated to pay it since she has no part in the action at all, but there is no bar to her helping her husband pay it if she wishes to do so.

The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court. However, at any time, either parent can utilize Child Support without the other parent's consent. If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.

Only the mother has standing to learn that

Money will rarely if ever be a consideration for the court with regard to the best interest of the child. That is why the non-custodial parent will pay child support. If the mother is a good parent other than that, it is very unlikely that a court would remove the child from her.

No. The money isn't for the mother. The money is for supporting the child. Back child support belongs to the estate of the deceased and will eventually benefit the child. And even if the child should die, the back child support does not go away.

If the Mother has received ANY State assistance, and the Father was NOT paying Child Support at any time...The State has every right to demand repayment.

No, only the parent (in this case I assume the mother), who he owed the money to can do that.

Yes. Wrong! The only time some one pays "Back Child support" is if the work and do not pay the correct amount from their pay checks. If a person is unemployed the are not liabel for child support. It is the same as if a mother is not working: she can get welfare and she does not have to pay back the money.

I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.

Yes, he can. If the father was the sole supporter of the child(ren) for 4 years without any contribution from the mother, the mother is responsible for her share of this time. Furthermore, any agreement and, in most states needs to be approved by a judge. In some cases the judge may decide that the amount of the agreement may not be enough to support the child(ren) solely based on the father's income.

If your father was given total custody of you and your brother then he could go to court to get you back. However, (and you would have to ask your mother this) if your mother and father have joint custody (such as you or your brother seeing your mother on spring break or other holidays) then child support would continue as was instructed by the courts. If your father had total custody and your mother… Read More

No. The statute of limitations for child support arrears in New York is twenty years from the date of the default. However, in your case it seems that your mother never obtained a court order for child support. You have no cause of action.

As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.

If back child support was owed at the time of the mother's death then any payments still owed would be paid to her estate to then be distributed to her heirs.

First, be very careful. Many a child has done this only to learn he was never behind in support. See link. As for you, only if your mother kept the claim active after you turned 18.

The back child support is still a debt. The estate should make a claim against the father. The money is still owed to the mother. Whether your wife receives any of it will depend on the estate and what bills are owed.

Yes, he is still the father.

Yes. Back child support is for the period prior to the father's custody.

You should consult an attorney to discuss your options and whether a child can sue for back child support in your state. There may be a statute of limitations.

You go back to court and file the papers to do so. The forms are readily available if you want to file them yourself. Another Perspective However, you should be aware that in the United States most jurisdictions will not allow a mother to waive child support from the child's father. The reason is that the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the mother doesn't need to money then it should… Read More

As you have now given up your rights to the child you do not have to pay back child support.

It all depends on WHO the arrears are being paid to. If the father was paying support directly to the mother, the back support/arrears would go to the mother. The support was never owed to the child, who has no standing in it. The payments are supposed to assist the mother by helping her to raise the child until the legal age of adulthood or whatever age was specified in the support decree. The support… Read More

Yes. Child support orders can be amended. However, some U.S. states have a time frame in which relates to how often the custodial parent or legal guardian can file a petition for an increase in support amounts.

he will have to pay back child support if owed unless mother agrees not to or he will have to pay back support if owed to state like if mother was on state aid,but no he will not have to pay for future support

Yes, but you cannot ask for retroactive.

The mother has the right to claim the child as the legal guardian of the child.

A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.

yes, but you may learn he was paying, without a court order and the mother lied.

To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year. So the mother in this case can claim her grandson on her taxes if she supported the child for at least 183 days out of the year, regardless of whether or not the mother of the child owes back child support.

That does not seem right. The father needs to go back to court and get the Judgement altered so that the mother pays the non custodial support.

A mother could obtain a child support order under those circumstances if the father didn't appear at the hearing, contest his paternity and request a DNA test to disprove his paternity. At the time of the hearing for child support the father has the right to contest his paternity and request a paternity test to make certain he is the father. He must show up at the hearing prepared to deny that he is the… Read More
