In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support. If you want to see your child, bring the custodial parent into court.
Talk to the Authorities and a Lawyer. Blackmail is a CRIME.
From a legal standpoint, a father has no rights over the unborn child. Roe vs. Wade took care of that. But if the mother decides on having the baby, the father becomes responsible. * Any parent can file a Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) petition in the appropriate state court in the city or county of residence. Such a petition cannot be filed nor can child support or custodial issues be addressed until the child is born and paternity has been established.
I was able to do this in Georgia and now my husband has adopted my son. But the father has to not have any contact with you or the child for at least 6 months, no child support during that time either. I had no problem because my ex was in prison at the time I took it to court for drugs for his third time. So all the judge had to do was look and that and the fact he never had paid any child support or contacted us in 3 years. It costed us around $1500.00. And don't let people fool you we only had to pay $700 for the adoption.
You should proceed with the child support case. You will have to risk the other finding out whatever you don't want them to know. Your ex husband shouldn't know details about your finances, it is best to keep them private.
My understanding is this: Child support will continue until the child or children have either reached age 18 or in the event they are attending college when they graduate. The non custodial parent at anytime can petition the court to reevaluate the custody agreement and child support order. The non custodial partent will then be finantialy evaluated and THt time may have an increase in the support order. The child support agreement is one that is to ensure that the child or children have no change in their lives ie: housing due to a drop in support of the custodial parent and so on. So with all that said your answer may lie within.
It depends on whether your parental rights are terminated legally and the circumstances. If the child is legally adopted and you give up your parental rights voluntarily your child support obligation will end. The law wants children to be supported by two parents. Giving up custody and visitation rights will not free you from the obligation of child support.
Only if the child is adopted or the mother decides to drop it. if she does decide to drop it she can still ask for it whenever if she needs financial support. The state is not going to pay if she needs help and you are not paying child support. It's first and foremost the biological parents obligation to pay for their child.
You can't 'drop' child support, unless the custodial parent asks you to relinquish parental rights, or files to terminate your rights. Living in another state does not matter, in fact moving to another country might not help either, as many nations have a reciprocal agreement with the US concerning child support payments.
No, but they might deny YOU Medicaid.
They would file for termination of child support at the agency in charge of collection and disbursement of support payments in the area where they live.
Yes. Child support is not something you pay so the child will stay in school, it's for their living expenses until they are emancipated and can support themselves.
No. It's always the biological parents who first has the obligation to support their child, not the state.
No. SS benefits and public assistance funds are still subject to child support enforcement.
Child support and child visitation are separate matters. Dropping one does not automatically mean that the other is also dropped.
The court has to agree
No, only a judge can, and only if the obligee is deceased.
I heard that once they turn 21 you no longer have to pay child support.unless they make you pay child support as long as they are in school.
