If you file joint and your tax refund gets intercepted, then you would have to file a "wounded spouse" form to get your portion of the refund. But beware, the child support office could hold the refund up to 6 months to clear all the paperwork before you get anything back.
The father of the child (whether he was ever legally married to the child's mother or not) is obligated to pay the child support. His new spouse cannot be LEGALLY obligated to pay it since she has no part in the action at all, but there is no bar to her helping her husband pay it if she wishes to do so.
Yes, the father of the child is obligated to provide support.
He is obligated to pay support until/unless it is established that he is not the father.
In Louisiana, if you live together and have a child but are not married, the father still has financial responsibilities. He is legally obligated to provide financial support for the child, which may include child support payments. This means he should contribute towards the child's expenses such as healthcare, education, and basic needs.
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.
If you're in the US, yes, he's still obligated to pay his regular child support.
Income tax refunds are taken only for past-due support - i.e., by the time the State starts taking tax refunds, the time to appeal an order for support is long past. The father might prevail in such an appeal if he can show that he just discovered that the mother had lied.
Yep.
If you mean, the child's mother (ex-wife) has custody, the child's father (ex-husband) is obligated or potentially obligated for support.
No matter what she named the child the father is responsible for child support.
Yes, custodial payments are for the support and care of a child until they are 18.
The father of the child is obligated to pay for 1/2 of the medical expenses due to the pregnancy.
