Child support payments are not intended to go to the child. They are intended to help maintain the quality of life for the child and custodial parent. That means they go toward rent, utilities such as heat, electricity and hot water, phone expenses, food, clothing, shoes, medical needs, school expenses, transportation, entertainment- if there is anything left, etc. The custodial parent has the right to spend the money in any way money is spent on necessities in an intact family. Once you make your payments you have no control over how the funds are spent.
In the state of Nebraska, you will have to pay child support under your child reaches 18 years of age. Once they turn 18, you should make sure that your child will not need more support but you are not required by law to help them.
Well if they have let their child become pregnant through bad parenting then they may as well sever their rights and let somebody who can parent the child. Just hand her over to childrens social services and be done with it !!!
The Child Support Agency sends a form to the mother asking for details about the child's father, it is compulsory for the mother to give these details. It is also compulsory for the father to pay to support their child, I am not sure if there is a way around it. I am quite sure they don't ask any other relatives.
child supportYES he will have to pay child support if the child is his.even though he may want a DNA test to make sure he is the dad especially not knowing he had a child.if he was seseved with legal papers his name should be on the birth certificate or some kindof informatin saying he is the legal dad. GOOD Luck
Yes, in most cases. It is a debt that is basically just deducted from your income. IE, if you make $5k a month, and your support is $2k a month, you will be looked at as you make only $3k a month. I have been paying child support for 12 years, and have bought 2 houses. I believe it would be a good idea to ask the question to the lender before going through all of the paperwork, just to make sure. Some states may have varying conditions/exclusions, or the lender may have certain restrictions on amount, length of time, etc.. The biggest hurdle will be if you make enough to satisfy the percentage that the lender is comfortable with. Hope that helps you out a little.
Keep current on your child support payments and make sure the courts are recording payments correctly.
Start by making an official notification, in person, to child support enforcement. Take names of you you talk to. Get a printout to make sure you show as current on your payments.
Make sure that the courts and/or your State's child support agency knows your whereabouts. And don't forget to get the permission of the court to move.
By keeping your child support payments current - and by making sure the State knows that they're current!
A typical support office worker can provide advice on financial or even emotional care but the main objective is to make sure the care and welfare of a child is maintained through regular child support payments from the parent.
You need to file an appeal or reconcilliation of the account with the child support agency overseeing your case. It may take months however, if you have overpaid you will have your money refunded by her (even if that requires them to seize her child support check) OR they will get the refund directly from the child support payments you are still making. Make sure you take ALL documentation that proves you have overpaid, court orders, child support withdrawals or payments you made in person/online, your income, etc.
You make arrangements with child support enforcement and request that interest penalties be set aside. While making payments, twice a year request a printout to make sure they are being properly recorded. See links below
I don't see any reason why not. For more information see www.SteveShorr.com/child_support.htm
If the child support is not getting to the custodial parent, the court will seize the money and make sure it is delivered. But note that the child support is not given to the child. It is used to pay for the food, clothing, shelter, and essential needs of the child.
Child support refers to periodic, set payments that are made to an individual and are to be used to financially support a child. The individual who makes these payments is known as an obligor, while the recipient of these payments is known as an obligee. The obligor is usually the parent that does not have custody of the child and the obligee is usually the custodial parent or guardian.Child support is commonly paid until the child reaches 18 years of age. However, in some cases, payments may be made for longer. The amount and schedule of child support payments is determined by a court to ensure fairness and that the child will be adequately supported.What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?A child support lawyer is one that works to ensure that the children involved in custody, divorce, or guardianship negotiations are properly represented. These lawyers make sure that a child will be financially supported and that their best interests are being considered by all involved parties.Depending on the region, a child support lawyer will work for one or both parties involved in a case. They may work with these individuals directly or with their attorneys. While the child involved in a case will not be present during deliberations, these lawyers are ultimately working to support the welfare of the child.Many child support lawyers will try to mediate and establish custodial terms outside of court. A child support lawyer may meet with a child's parents or guardians to discuss areas of discontent and come to an agreement, without engaging in a long court battle. These lawyers will help determine visitation rights and other terms of a child's custody, as well as discuss child support payments.If an obligor is not making his or her child support payments, a child support lawyer may also be contacted. A lawyer will help the obligee through the legal process of collecting payments and may also work with other organizations, as necessary.Additionally, in cases where a father is questioning his paternity, a child support lawyer may help to determine paternity. Adults that need help with an adoption or surrogacy may also contact a child support lawyer. These lawyers are even sometimes used by minors who wish to be emancipated from their parents or guardians. While many child support lawyers mostly work to determine the terms of and collect child support, they are also capable of helping with many different situations dealing with minor children.
You will need to take a paternity test to prove you are in fact not the biological father. A man just was released from jail in Atlanta because it turns out he was not the biological father and had been previously jailed for falling behind on child support payments... Always take the test to be sure and then you can make the right decision.
Leave him, but make sure to get that child support!
