What else can I help you with?
Does a father of the child that has been petition over for child support have to go to a court session before the final settlements of the child support amount to be granted?
probably
Do i still have to pay arrearage child support now that my child is over 18?
Yes. You are still responsible for any amount in arrears even if your child reaches the age where support is no longer mandated by state law.
Can you get a passport owing child support if the child is over 18?
Passports can be suspended/denied if the amount of arrears exceeds the appropriate threshold, regardless of the child's current age.
Are there guidelines on what a mother can spend on child care?
Most states place a cap on the amount of child care that can be reimbursed through child support. The custodial parent can spend whatever they like on child care, but child support will usually only consider up to a maximum amount. For example, your state may conclude that any amount over $800/month is unreasonable for child care. The custodial parent could still pay $1200/month on child care, but child support would only be calculated based on the maximum amount of $800. Not all states have such a cap. Your state's child support guidelines should list that amount, if there is one.
Can unforeseen medical expenses for a stepchild of the noncustodial parent effect the amount of child support the noncustodial parent is required to pay?
No. Your obligation to support your own child takes priority over any subsequent support you offer for another person's child. The court would not decrease your child support obligation for that reason.
Can a noncustodial parent not pay child support because he paid for child's clothing?
Absolutely not unless that specific provision is recited in the child support order. He must pay his court ordered child support in full. Any other items he provides for the children are simply his way of helping. He does not get to decide how the child support must be spent by deducting his purchases from the amount owed. He actually owes it to his child to provide whatever help he can over and above child support. The custodial parent does numerous extra things for the child every day.Absolutely not unless that specific provision is recited in the child support order.

Is the balance still owed after child support has been dropped?
If a parent drops a child support claim and the award is reversed through the courts, yes any amount that is over due is considered to be in arrears and is still owed.
Does support stop when the mother dies?
Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child. Why should the child be deprived of financial support if her mother dies. The order can be modified and it will be paid over to her legal guardian if that person is not the other parent.Of course not. Child support is for the support of a minor child.

What happens if you give additional child support payments without a court order?
If the amounts paid are over and above the amount due in a child support order it would be considered a gift to the child's mother. If there is no existing child support order you should make payments by check. If the mother eventually seeks a child support order the court can go backward to collect child support that should have been paid. If you have proof of payments they will result in a credit.
Can you sue for child support if your over 18 and your mother never filed for it in Virginia?
No, not likely. If you are over 18 yrs. of age, you are considered an adult, and child support is exactly what it is...."child-support" for CHILDREN, not adults!
Will it be worth getting a lawyer for child support if the non-custodial parent is unemployed?
Yes. The court will set a child support order using state guidelines and the obligor will need to pay over some amount from the unemployment earnings. When the obligor gains new employment the child support order will be in place and the custodial parent can return to court and request a modification to reflect the obligor's increase in earnings.Yes.
