How long can a non custodial parent go without seeing a child before in considered abandonment in missouri?
Missouri's legal statutes do not specify a period of time when abandonment occurs, however most judges in that state concur that abandonment has occurred when the non-custodial parent has left the child and provided no means of support for the child for a period of six months. In those cases, the non-custodial parent may petition the court for termination of parental rights of the non-custodial parent. However, if the other parent contests the petition, then you are unlikely to prevail since the courts prefer that both parents are part of the child's life. The best course of action is probably to go through the normal process of filing a motion with the court to establish child support and visitation. Then you can receive support for your child and have scheduled visitation set up. If the parent has no interest in the child then he is unlikely to even use the visitation.
Is it illegal for a divorced couple to use the same money to rotate it between the child support agency to the custodial parent back to the non-custodial parent and then back to the agency?
I take it that the NCP is sending payments to the agency and the CP is returning those payments to the NCP. This doesn't appear to violate any law.
In Missouri is it legal for an ex-wife to instruct a fourteen year old child to audio record the father and his new girlfriend in his own home to use in a custody battle?
Generally, Missouri law provides that it is not unlawful for a person who is not under color of law to intercept oral communications as long as they are a party, or one party has given consent. Instructing a child to record conversation at her father's home does not meet the requirements for a legal recording. However, there are other serious legal issues that would be involved with that activity.The parent using their child to spy on the non-custodial parent, or secretly gather information for the custodial parent's use, would constitute parental alienation. Teaching the child to spy and making her do it would constitute a major interference in the child's relationship with her father. It can have a devastating effect on both the non-custodial parent and the child. The courts are well aware of the existence of parental alienation and its effects. It is not viewed lightly. The court can impose sanctions and a parent who persists in trying to alienate the child from the other parent could eventually lose custody. Any recordings presented to the court as evidence against the non-custodial parent may backfire and prove to be a problem for the custodial parent instead.If you plan to use a child to spy you should consult with an attorney before you act. You should also take a parenting class through the court geared toward divorce and children, and obtain some counseling. If you have been a victim or think you have been a victim of child spying you should consult with an attorney and take legal action. In that case, the custodial parent does not have the child's best interest in mind.See related link.
Will the father of your son still have to pay child support if he is unemployed?
Yes, if the order is still in effect. He must obey the child support order or he will be found in contempt of a court order. If his income has decreased he can petition the court to modify the child support order.
Will a non custodial parent get into legal trouble if they let their child live with them because the child refuses to go home to the custodial parent?
yes. once you get the child file for a modification of the final order (divorce, paternity, parental rights) whatever type of case it is. Don't be surprised if the other party changes their mind quickly. The smart thing to do is wait for six months, continue to pay child support or work out an arrangement that you will pay one half of what you would ordinarly pay while you have the child so the other party won't become suspicious, then file the modification, serve it on the other party and you will have the primary custody and the other party will pay support to you and have visitation. Caution; do now or stop paying support abruptly, the other party will snatch the child back quick. If you have an agreement to stop paying child support or modify the amount please file it with the court immediately, otherwise you will be in violation of a Court order. Good Luck
Can you use your son as a tax deduction since you are paying child support?
You need to review your court orders and the laws in your state. The custodial parent also supports the child. In some states the custodial parent has the legal right to claim the child.

Is it legal for a parent paying child support to refuse to pay in cash?
Yes. It is never advisable to pay in cash. The obligated parent should only use a method of payment for child support that can be verified, the best option a personal check followed by the type of money order that can be traced, or a signed receipt from the custodial parent. If the custodial parent does not have access to a checking account, then the support payments should be rendered through the state's division of child support enforcement or social services.
If parent is on drugs and child is 22 can other parent get back child support dropped?
Neither the custodial parent's drug use nor the child's age is a defense against not paying past-due child support.
The non-custodial parent had child support court order stop and can the custodail parent stop the non-cusoial parent from seeing the child?
NO! Call they child support agency and find out why he stopped it and actually I don't think he can. Unless you have joint custody and placement he has to pay that is every states law. But do not use him not paying child support to withold your child you can be held in contempt of court. Those are two separate issues. That is right, He cannot just stop paying. and I agree, do not use money to withold your child from seeing him. It will only hurt your child and then come back on you.
Do you have to pay child support and half of medical expenses?

Can the custodial parent continue to receive child support payments if they are in prison in Tennessee?
If the parent is in prison the child is no longer considered to be in above said's custody. Unless it was an overlook by the state, the incarcerated parent should receive no benefits for the child, as those benefits are marked for use by the person or institution with physical and legal custody of the child or children.
Can a non custodial parent avoid full time work?
I'm guessing that you are the custodial parent, and you are wondering what you can do to get the non-custodial parent to make enough money to help pay for the expenses of your child? The technical answer to your question is, "Yes, a non custodial parent CAN avoid working..." However, there may be consequences for the dead-beat parent that s/he won't like. If you can show that the non-custodial parent is intentionally neglecting his/her responsibilities, the court will be able to take certain measures against the dead-beat parent. You need to consult with a family-law attorney, and it is usually best if you use the same attorney who handled your original custodial agreement. If you cannot afford an attorney, there are free legal services in every state.
How can you locate a dead beat dad?
The custodial parent can relinquish rights to child support payments by simply having such a statement notarized. This is not possible if there is a court order of child support in place. The custodial parent will need to file a petition in the court that issued the support order, the petition may or may not be granted depending upon the circumstances of the case. Furthermore, a custodial parent who voluntarily relinquishes the right to receive child support is not eligible for public aid.

Is it state law that a parent HAS TO pay child support when the other parent tells the judge that they do not want or need it?
No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
Is it illegal for a divorced couple to use the same money to rotate it between the child support agency to the custodial parent back to the non-custodial parent and then back to the agency?
