If you have signed the birth certificate, then yes, that child is considered yours to support and claim. In some states, you can pay for that child if you provided support or let that child take on your name.

No, before a suit for arrearages can be filed there must be a valid support order in place. The custodial parent can file for support according to the laws of the state in which he or she resides. If the order is granted the court will determine at that time whether or not any arrearages are applicable.


What are the key aspects of divorce law in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, key aspects of divorce law include grounds for divorce, division of property, child custody and support, alimony, and the process for filing for divorce. Massachusetts is a "no-fault" divorce state, meaning couples can divorce without proving fault. Property is divided equitably, not necessarily equally. Child custody and support are determined based on the best interests of the child. Alimony may be awarded based on factors like the length of the marriage and each spouse's financial situation. The divorce process involves filing a complaint, attending court hearings, and reaching a settlement or going to trial if necessary.

Can a court uphold a divorce decree where the child support is to stop upon remarriage of the party receiving support?

If the divorce paperwork states that child support ends when or if the person receiving support remarries, then, yes, the support will end as the court has ordered. If you are the payer of the support, you shouldn't even have to go to court to get this enforced. Since it's already written in the divorce order, a simple call to child support services, or whoever handles child support in your state, should get it handled. If you are the receiver of the support, the support will end as previously ordered by the divorce court, and agreed to by you, unless you hire a lawyer and take the other person back to court to get the order adjusted. Remember that the court has already ordered how this situation was to be handled, so it will not adjust a single thing unless you can show some especially compelling reason for the change. If the child has a serious illness or become disabled since the divorce would be a decent reason, but even that may not be enough.
