What else can I help you with?
In the state of Massachusetts if a biological father is unaware of a child and the child is adopted by his stepfather is the bio dad responsible for any back child support?
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
If a father signs over his parental rights does he still owe back child support in Arizona?
Yes. He also owes ongoing (current) support, until/unless the child is adopted.
Does a father have to pay child support if he's not working?
Yes, when either the mother or the state department of revenue files a complaint for child support against him. The court will issue an order that can include back support.
Would you have to pay child support if you adopted a child and then the mother takes that child back?
No. If you adopted a child and the mother cancelled the adoption, you should owe nothing.
Can you get back child support after the children's father has signed over his rights to them?
Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support until/unless the child is adopted. At that time, the biological parent still owes whatever he had been ordered to pay and has not paid.
How do you file for back child support from your father for child support order in 1955?
I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.
Child support end if you get back with the father?
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
What happens in the state of California if a father signs over his rights?
Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.
Can you cancel child support if you get back with your child's father?
Yes, but get a court order confirming this.
Does a father have to pay child support for adopted children?
That depends, on a couple of things. First is any money owed to the state, if you received state assistance the state will require to be paid back some of the funds. Second, if there is no court order in effect that states the back support could be nulled then he still owes. This answer above is correct, but to make it a little more understandable I wanted to add that my husband just legally adopted my daughter from my first marriage. My ex had not contacted her for more than 6 months and had nothing to do with her, so he couldn't contest the adoption. He is no longer liable for current child support, but still owes all the back child support. They will still collect his tax returns or any other moneys he is due like paycheck with holding.
If you receive child support after the child is adopted do you have to pay it back?
Provided that it doesn't involve payment for arrears, than yes.
