What else can I help you with?
Does the custodial parent need to give non-custodial parent a letter of permission when non-custodial parent is taking child out of state for a extended period of time?
IT is a good idea assuming the custodial parent has sole custody or sole legal custody of the child. Otherwise, most states will administer medical care to a child with either parent present and will administer life saving measures without anyone present though they would be unable to continue treatment beyond emergency stabilization without a parent or guardian consent
What happens if the custodial parent cancels child support in New York moves and changes contact information so that the father is unable to contact the children?
He finds her, files an injunction to have the children returned, and start putting aside child support into a trust fund because she will likely refile for retroactive child support in another state. see link below
When a parent is incarcerated do they have to pay back child support owed?
In such a situation the support order will remain valid and collectible. When the person is released from custody the child support enforcement division for the state will take whatever action required to recover the monies owed. The matter of a non custodial parent being in a position where they are unable to honor a support order does not change the terms of said order. For that to happen the non custodial parent must petition the court to have the order amended or rescinded.
What questions will a judge ask a child if it chooses to live with a non custodial parent?
There are no set guidelines by which a judge follows in speaking with the child. In this manner, a parent is unable to prep the child's answers. Generally, the judge just talks to the child. see related links
An agreement for father to get kids on Friday evenings was put in divorce decree but father picks children up on Saturday and not Friday What can you do?
You can reopen your final custody agreement in court as the other parent is not following the schedule. If there is a valid reason why he is unable to pick them up on Friday, then you may need to modify the agreement to show this as the amount of time the non-custodial parent spends with their children can affect child support.
Do you have to pay child support if you have ten children or more?
Yes, general guidelines for child support are no less than 40% of the noncustodial parent's income if there are 5 or more children. This percentage may differ depending upon the laws of the state where the child/children reside. The rules also differ if multiple children reside in different households and/or parents share equal physical custody. In some cases the amount of support can be based on earning potential rather than the actual present income.
What would be the reasons for the court to rule otherwise that an unmarried mother retains sole custodial rights to her child?
If it were proven that the mother was unable to care for the child properly due to physical or mentally problems or if the child had been subjected to abuse, neglect or otherwise endangered.
What makes a parent unstable?
When the parent is unable to provide daily care for that child on a daily basis. When food, shelter, physical, emotional, and mental support is deemed unsatisfactory on a daily basis. When parent themselves are unstable to provide the above factors for themselves, then they are unable to provide for a child. It is different when a parent is trying, but there must be substancial evidence and support in order to assist the parent into stability. Please seek better advice than the internet. If there is questionable instability, seek help immediately through family members and professional family services.
Why do you have to pay child support and pay for your child to go away to college?
If you were still living with the other parent, you'd be helping to support the child through that period as more than likely the child will be unable to support themselves. Living apart from the other parent does not absolve you of that responsibility towards your child.

How can a man refuse to pay for child support in the United States?
Legally, you cannot refuse to pay child support after receiving an order from a court. A man (or a woman, for that matter) is legally obligated to financially support their children. States set most child support laws, and if the custodial parent files a support order against the non-custodial parent, the state will enforce the order.If the parent defies the order, the state may garnish their wages, seize their assets, or take other actions as part of that enforcement. Eventually, the non-custodial parent may face jail time. Enforcement can be carried out across state lines, so even if the non-custodial parent leaves the state, they’ll eventually face repercussions for dodging their responsibilities.If you’re unable to pay child support because your income has changed, your child’s financial needs have changed, or for another legitimate reason, you should contact an attorney to discuss your options. You may be able to file a child support modification request, which asks the court to revisit the terms of your original order. The process for filing this request varies greatly from state to state.An important note: Filing a request does not automatically guarantee a lower payment. The court will consider a variety of factors in evaluating your request, including:The disparity of income between the two partnersThe parents' incomeThe payer’s cost of livingThe child’s needs, including costs of education and healthcareThe child’s standard of livingTemporary hardships (such as hospitalization or loss of income) on the part of the payerIn some states, the court will also consider reasonable living expenses, but many courts simply look at the net income of each parent (net income is your gross income after taxes, Social Security, and other mandatory deductions). To the court, the needs of the child come before the needs of a parent, so a judge probably won’t consider credit card bills, car loans, and other non-essential expenses.You may be able to lower your payments by discussing the issue with the other parent, or by using mediators to revisit the child support order. If the other parent agrees to a modification of the child support order, you’ll have a much easier time getting the change approved. Even if you come to an agreement with the other parent, you will have to submit the proposed modification to the court in order for it to become legal.If you’re thinking about filing for child support modification, make sure to pay all of your current child support payments on time to the best of your ability. Discuss the matter with an attorney before taking any legal action whatsoever.Sadly, many parents don’t support their children financially, despite their legal obligation to do so. In 2015, $33.7 billion in child support was owed, but only about 60 percent of that money was actually received by custodial parents. Only 21.7 percent of all custodial parents requested government assistance in collecting child support.
