If the court has awarded child support, then the good intentions of the father are irrelevant. Legally, child support must be paid.
What is it with you men! Of course you would still have to pay child support for your 9 year old.
Yes. see linksAns 2.The father has the option to waive his rights if he wants to, and if he can convince the judge that he is sane, sober and not under coercion as he does so.This has nothing at all to do with child support, which is not his right, but his responsibility. In general the mother can't waive child support either, because support is her child's right, not hers.THAT IS CORRECT.....unless the child's mother has re-married and her husband wants to adopt this child, that would release the biological father from paying child support.
A father is responsible for supporting his child whether or not he is in the child's life.
Not for continuing support, only for arrears.
Yes, though in California the child support and visitation are linked. The less time you parent the child, the more you pay.
If the father is not living with the child and has some income other than public assistance, yes.
A judge can order child support from the father if a court-ordered DNA test proves that he is the child's father.
Yes.
No but it is not easy to have it done, the judge wants good reasons for it. And he will still have to pay child support.
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
If you paid through the courts or the State - probably.
No one has to. the paternal father should still support or help however unless he wants to give up all rights.
