How can a father avoid paying child support if the grandmother gets custody?
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
Do both the mother and father have to pay child support if grandmother has custody?
Unfortunately, you still have to pay if these are her grandparents. It is up to the grandparents to suggest to her that she pay something towards the children. If they are your grandparents then they can seek legal council and demand she too pay child support. If she is living with the grandparents and raising your child then it is solely up to the grandparents to decide if they foot the bill or she does. Sorry. Marcy
Who has custody when both of the parents names are on the birth certificate?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
If I have custody of my child and don't receive child support and I allow my child to go live with his father is he entitled to child support?
He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support? If there was a divorce agreement it may state the stipulations regarding support and custody. If the custodial parent is giving up physical custody of the child to the previously non-custodial parent then child support may be changed.

Can A grandmother get child Support if parents rights were terminated?
Terminating parents rights does not mean they don't have to pay for their child. If you as the grandmother is the legal guardian and have custody you have to go to court to petition for child support. If you don't have legal custody you have to get it first.

If a mother writes a letter giving custody of her children to the grandmother can the grandmother demand child support from the mother?
The grandmother would need to gain legal custody before she can petition the court for monetary support. Unless the court terminated the rights of the mother she probably would be ordered to pay child support. A "letter" is not sufficient documentation for transferring the care of a child/children to another person even a family member. A petition must be made to the court for temporary or permanent custody under the guidelines of the state of residency laws. Schools will not allow a child to be enrolled unless it is by the parent, legal guardian. Then there is the issue of medical care, and the before mentioned support, either through public assistance or by the parent(s).

What rights exist for the grandmother of a newborn whose minor mother has been declared unfit?
The father would have priority unless he has been deemed unfit or does not want custody. If the father consents the grandmother will likely be appointed legal guardian. If he objects there will be a hearing at which both sides present evidence to support their request for custody and the court will render a decision based on the best interest of the child. The grandmother should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
If a grandmother has the child and the parent did not sign custody papers can the grand parent file for child support in the state of North Carolina?
Yes who ever has the child legally can file for child support. But you have to demonstrate to the court that the child has been residing with you and you have the physical custody and you want to keep the physical custody and give the other parent visitation and joint legal custody. This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.

If a father was receiving child support in Texas and the child chooses to live with the other parent do you have to pay the other parent child support?
If the arrangement is with the consent of the custodial parent and will be permanent then the custody and child support orders must be modified to reflect the change in legal custody. The parent in Texas needs to have their custody formalized by a court order so they can enroll the child in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. If the child support order is not modified the non-custodial parent may be subject to the accumulation of child support arrears.
