The obligor's spouse can use his/her money, if s/he wishes to do so. However, the spouse cannot be forced to make these payments.
No. The roommate is not related to you in any legal sense, therefore their income does not come into the picture when figuring your means of child support payments or the receiving of such payments thereof.
A divorce does not effect child support. Also, usually child support stops when the child turns 18.
You have to pay the amount of child support ordered by the courts. The only way your inheritance might come into play is if your ex decides to take you back to court to get more child support.
Yes, but it has to be court ordered, and must come from both parents.
Child support refers to periodic, set payments that are made to an individual and are to be used to financially support a child. The individual who makes these payments is known as an obligor, while the recipient of these payments is known as an obligee. The obligor is usually the parent that does not have custody of the child and the obligee is usually the custodial parent or guardian.Child support is commonly paid until the child reaches 18 years of age. However, in some cases, payments may be made for longer. The amount and schedule of child support payments is determined by a court to ensure fairness and that the child will be adequately supported.What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?A child support lawyer is one that works to ensure that the children involved in custody, divorce, or guardianship negotiations are properly represented. These lawyers make sure that a child will be financially supported and that their best interests are being considered by all involved parties.Depending on the region, a child support lawyer will work for one or both parties involved in a case. They may work with these individuals directly or with their attorneys. While the child involved in a case will not be present during deliberations, these lawyers are ultimately working to support the welfare of the child.Many child support lawyers will try to mediate and establish custodial terms outside of court. A child support lawyer may meet with a child's parents or guardians to discuss areas of discontent and come to an agreement, without engaging in a long court battle. These lawyers will help determine visitation rights and other terms of a child's custody, as well as discuss child support payments.If an obligor is not making his or her child support payments, a child support lawyer may also be contacted. A lawyer will help the obligee through the legal process of collecting payments and may also work with other organizations, as necessary.Additionally, in cases where a father is questioning his paternity, a child support lawyer may help to determine paternity. Adults that need help with an adoption or surrogacy may also contact a child support lawyer. These lawyers are even sometimes used by minors who wish to be emancipated from their parents or guardians. While many child support lawyers mostly work to determine the terms of and collect child support, they are also capable of helping with many different situations dealing with minor children.
Generally the law provides that payments due on a holiday may be deferred to the next working day.
There are no rules governing what expenses child support should be used to pay for, that is left to the discretion of the parent or guardian that the payments are made to. States set minimum standards that must be met by a supporting parent, usually a percentage of the person's income, and then assess the entire family situation before determining if additional amounts should be allotted for expenses such as medical care, education or child care, and any other costs associated with providing a reasonable lifestyle for the child in question. Often child support payments do not come near meeting half of the financial costs of rearing a child when one factors in all the expenses that are paid that the child benefits from directly or indirectly.
What would be so bad about going through child support services? The father can have direct payments made to the mother without either party having to come into contact with one another, and it's a free service. Having an open case through DCCS (Department of Child Support Services) should not be taken as meaning that the payor is unwilling to pay. Think of child support as kind a paypal type arrangement. DCCS acts as an independent third party to get the payments to the custodial parent. It's not a bad or evil service, and so long as the father is making timely and full payments, it really is easier for everyone involved to let DCCS handle the administration of the payments.
Yes. There is no statute of limitations on past-due child support.
Under the Divorce Act, child support payments are typically made to the other parent, not directly to the child. If one parent wants to give child support directly to the minor child, they should discuss this with the other parent and try to come to an agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter may need to be resolved through a court or through mediation.
Permanent alimony is the simplest type of spousal support, providing fixed monthly payments from one spouse to another for the life of the spouse with a few provisions. Typically, permanent alimony ends when either spouse dies or when the receiving spouse remarries. If the receiving spouse were to come into a large amount of money, alleviating the need for alimony, that could also be cause to have the alimony order lifted or at least reduced. In addition, permanent alimony can usually be modified under certain circumstances such as a change in income for either spouse or an illness or unforeseen emergency. The adjustment can be permanent or temporary and can go up or down, depending upon the circumstances fueling the modification, depending on specific state law and depending on the terms of the divorce decree.
The only reason to not pay child support is if you are not the biological or adoptive parent. You must provide proof to the court that ordered the child support.
