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
Can a child be taken away from their custodial parent if they live in a homeless shelter?
Yes, a child can be taken away from their custodial parent if the living situation in a homeless shelter poses a risk to the child's safety or well-being. Child protective services may intervene if they believe the environment is unsuitable or if the parent is unable to provide adequate care. However, the circumstances are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and efforts are often made to support the family before resorting to removal.
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 For that to happen the non custodial parent must petition the court to have the order amended or rescinded.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.
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.
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 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.
