Your ex denies being the father and did not put his name on the birth certificate after the DNA test proves fatherhood does he pay back child support from the first day of birth?
P.S. OR DOES CHILD SUPPORT START FROM THE DAY PATERNITY IS PROVEN????
You did not know that you have a 15 year old child do you owe back child support?
Child support accrues from the moment the support order is issued, not from the birth of the child.
Does a father have to back pay child support from when they sign the birth certificate or from the date the child was born?
Neither ... the " father " has to pay owed child support only when there is an existing case open and ordered to pay said support by a family court judge ... And subsequently has not met all payments if any at all ...
Back child support unaware of child?
In theory, the court can order retroactive support to the birth of the child. However, many judges will not order support for a period prior to the obligor's awareness of the child.
If the fathers name is on the birth certificate does he have to pay child support if he and the mother aggree not to?
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 in the bank for the child's collegeeducation.
What rights does a father have if the mother of his unborn child leaves the state and denies him the right to care for his child and then comes back 6 years later suing for child support?
He has to prove paternity in court to get his parental rights. He can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support and also petition to sign the birth certificate. He could have done this 6 years ago when the child was born. The mother cannot deny him his parental rights. Now he will have to pay child support and he can even owe for 6 years back.
Can a mother have a minor child's last name changed on his birth certificate without the permission of the father if he signed the birth certificate?
Yes, but the father can motion the family court to stop the action, or have it changed back when he finds out.
Could you claim back child support for your child if partner you are now with the birth father prior to paternity test?
confusing
Can the mother name anyone she wants as the birth father on the birth certificate?
Here in the Philippines, a mother can not just name any person as the father of her child in the Birth Certificate. They will look for a marriage contract as their reference when you named your child under his/her father's surname. Or if not married, they let the father fill up the Affidavit of Acknowledgement/Admission of Paternity at the back of the Birth Certificate.
Father not on birth certificate. Does a father have to pay back child support after positive DNA test 13 yrs later?
Every state has a statute of limitations as far as determining paternity and the length of time for obligation to pay retroactive child support varies from state to state as well. You would need to provide your state of residence and your child's current age for an accurate answer.
How far back can child support be claimed?
2-18 years, depending on the state, but a growning number of judges are taking the stance of Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement in opposing the practice.
Can you stop paying for child until mother puts you on birth certificate?
If you know you are the Father of the child (depending on the state you live in) it doesn't matter if your name in the Birth Certificate or not you are still responsible for providing for your child. If you do not have a Court Pay Order than I would suggest keeping copies of all Checks or Money Orders you pay your support with so that the Mother can not say you never paid. If you are not sure if you are the Father then contact your local Child Support Agency and request a Paternity test. I would still keep all documents of what you paid and what it was for in-case it turns out the child is not yours then you can get the Mother to pay you back, if you so wish. I would contact your local Child Support Office and ask them as they will know the rules for your state.
