Unless the order specifically states otherwise, termination does not erase any support due prior to the date of termination, including retroactive support.
There are lots of factors involved. What does the court order say? If there is back child support owed, it is still to be paid. The child still needs to be supported, in this case the state may take the money and give it to the foster care or new guardian for the benefit of the child.
Keeping the money is theft. You will have to pay it back. The money should go to the person who have the kids and if that is none of the parents, both parent have to pay child support to that person.
if a divorced couple decides to get back together, which is great by the way, then whoever was receiving the child support has the oppurtunity to say it's over he doesnt need to pay it anymore. that person would have to go back to court before the judge to change it.
Until they and the interest penalties are paid.
Back support is owed the obligee parent, however any continuing support can go to the child.
Yes. You must pay until the child support order has been terminated by the time set forth in the order, or terminated by the court. Even if the order is terminated you will still owe any arrearages.
Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.
Yes - the arrears are still due - the child support order ends when parental rights are terminated.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
No as that would be considered child abandonment.
You attach his estate
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
If he has them and refuses to return them you can call the police. If you want him to have legal physical custody the both of you need to go back to court and have the custody order modified and the father's child support order terminated.
You still owe the back support. Once the child reaches the age of majority (as defined by the support order) there will be no continuing obligation.
Place a lien on his estate
Yes, if there was a court order in place requiring support and it was not suspended/terminated during the father's incarceration.
It happens. However your child support obligation may be offset by the back child support you are due unless that amount has been forgiven by the courts.
