First off, threatening to harm anyone, regardless of age or relation, is in fact a crime. Secondly, threatening harm or allowing circumstances that could be harmful to a child is enough for CPS, Child Protective Services, to take a child away from their parent/guardian.
There is no child at 18, that is an adult who makes his own decisions about who to see.
The more a child feels understood, respected and loved by a parent, the more it will want to spent time with him or her.
it is okay for one parent to work a job and for the other to stay at home and take care of a child as long as it makes the child and the parent happy! and if the child is getting the care that is needed and there is being enough money made to support the family.
That parent would be in violation of a court order, so yes, they would be in trouble. The adult makes the decisions, not the child. The child should be put into a car and driven home.
There is no legal relationship between you and your domestic partner's child unless and until you have obtained a second-parent adoption that makes you the legal parent of the child.
the job of your parent isn't what makes it good to be their child, being the child of teacher is no better then being the kid of a doctor
Primary custody is generally defined as belonging to the parent with whom the child or children reside with the majority of the time. It does not mean that it cannot be a joint custody arrangement as well.
Depending on the placement of the child(ren), it's all a percentage of each parent's income. The parent who makes more will be required to provide a larger percentage of the child's support. It's calculated by the state. They have a form to calculate the amount based on each parent's income and expenses. It's a standard (not usually negotiable) calculation.
No. If the mother has full custody, the father must pay child support to the mother who is supporting the child. Put simply, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the parent who does have custody.If the custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent, the court will not order the non-custodial parent to pay the custodial parent. There are formulas for each state and county that the courts follow. There are also circumstances that do not follow typical guidlines.
No, minor children are not allowed to make the decision as to which parent they choose to reside with. A judge makes the decision based on what is in the best interest of said child, not on the preference of a parent or child.
This entrusts the legal and physical custody of the child in only one of the parents. The parent granted Sole Custody makes all major decisions for the child without having to consult the non-custodial parent. Sole Custody is generally used in cases where the parties are unable to cooperate in making decisions for the child or in those cases where one parent is absent from the child's life.
It's rare for the custodial parent to have to pay child support, but it does happen. It usually only occurs in one of three situations: 1. The custodial parent makes significantly more than the non-custodial parent. 2. Parenting time is split 50/50 (or close to it). Or 3. The non-custodial parent is paying additional expenses for the child, such as high health-care premiums or child care costs. Your state may have other exceptions to the rule, but yes, exceptions do exist and the custodial parent is sometimes required to pay child support to the non-custodial parent.
