Best Answer

A parent has the right to discipline their child, which includes corporal punishment (spanking/hitting).

A child, however, is legally protected from cruel and unusual punishment from the parent.

Generally speaking, if the parent is leaving a serious bruise, the child is being subjected to excessive punishment that constitutes "child abuse".

Any further specification is a personal opinion.

When is it illegal for you dad to hit you?

This is a complex question. There is a distinction between child abuse and discipline, and each state defines it differently. There are clear cut cases: spanking a child on the butt for punishment is clearly legal, while punching the same child is clearly illegal. Outside of those clear distinctions, there is a broad amount of grey area that varies. Essentially, it depends on what you mean by "hit," how old the child is, and what circumstances led to the hit.

Child support for illegal children?

Child support for illegal children can be difficult. A court order is required to enforce child support payments, and this depends on the parent being a legal immigrant with a legal job to collect from. If a illegal child is born of a US citizen or naturalization, the child is no longer considered illegal.
