Child custody and child support laws do vary from state to state, so please confirm the details of the law in your state by contacting a local court or attorney. One thing that is fairly consistent from state to state: a parent's financial responsibility for a child is separate from the right to visitation or custody and separate from the issue of the child's name. A non-custodial parent is not excused from the responsibility to support the child. A child's name is assigned at birth on the birth certificate. If the father is not present the mother can give the last name of the father on her own (or another) last name. The name has no bearing on either child support or custody. Simplest way to detemine obligation is, if there is a valid court order of support the non custodial parent is obligated to adhere to the terms of the support regardless of the circumstances involved. The non custodial parent has the option of filing a petition to have the order rescinded or amended, and requesting a paternity test if the parentage of the child is in question.
In any state, if your child is underage and is having a child of their own, you are still untitled to pay child support unless you or the other parent get the child emicapated.
No that person is an adult and child support stops at 18.
No.
No, but you must file to discontinue see links below
The child is no longer a minor at age 18. However, in Indiana, child support payments are required until the age of 21 or until the child is providing more than 50% of his or her financial support.
No, they are still your responsibility. You are still their parent, and they are still a minor. You still have to help take care of them.
yup
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
No. You will still have to pay child support for your children.
Yes, if the court order provides for child support and insurance past age 18.
You still pay child support until the child is 18. Parental rights means you signed away having any legal say in the child not the fact that you are still the parent.
No. You can go to court and see about having the payment amount reduced but you still have to pay child support because your child still needs to eat.
If you live in the US... Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a minor. Therefore, the minor's parents are still responsible for supporting them (but not for supporting the minor's child), and the child support must still be paid.
