Child Support

Unfortunately, the states spend less than 25 of federal fund for child support actually on the child support program. Depending on how many cases the assign agent is working, plus other factors such as service on the obligor and if he or she challenges parentage, it can take from 2-6 months. I do advise all fathers to request a paternity test because there's a 30% rate of paternity fraud.

Of course. If she has physical custody and your child is still your child then you must pay child support until your child support order has been modified by the court. A new spouse is not respondible for supporting non-biological children.

The age of majority is 18, however authorities will not intervene if the minor has received parental permission and has an acceptable place to reside, and is able to provide for themselves. The action however, does not release the parents from their obligation to said minor, meaning they are can be held legally and financially responsible until the minor reaches legal age or a court rules otherwise.

No it has to be paid to his guardian mentioned in the divorce decree in court.

The time depends, among other things, on how efficient your State child support agency is, whether the joint filer files w/IRS for return of all or part of that refund as the "injured spouse," and whether the taxpayer/obligor appeals the intercept of that refund.

Hitting a child anywhere (except the buttocks in limited cases) is considered abuse.

The name on the birth certificate is not as important as actual parentage. a DNA test will supercede whatever's on the BC. Therefore, if you're talking about the actual genetic father, Child Support can be invoked by the court.

Yes, until you have established your paternity legally.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. 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.

The best thing you can do is call the child support recovery unit that handles your case and let them know that you cannot make the payment. The amount you miss will be added to any other back support you owe.

Hajj is not obligatory on children. If some child performs Hajj during childhood, it does not free him from obligation. Only adults are bound to perform Hajj. Children of any age may accompany their parents, rather it looks very impressing and inspiring to see innocent children dressed in Ahraam, sometimes sitting on te shoulders of their fathers going round the holy Ka'abah.

Yes, the court will terminate child support.

There are many resources available for those who need additional support on how to resolve dilemmas. A trusted adult can be helpful, a respected business person, a member of the clergy, or a therapist can all offer helpful advice and solutions.

If he has abandoned the mother, talk to a lawyer. There may be a law in your state that after so many years of 'abandonment' custody is automatic. Get a lawyer and file for full custody if abandonment is not the issue.

The child abandonment law in Texas says that if a person purposely leaves a child 15 or under in a dangerous and harmful place can be charged with child abandonment. If found guilty a person may face felony charges.

Although it is highly doubtful, it does happen if there is enough proof the custodial parent is harming the child or neglecting the child. Child support and custody should be two separate issues. Contact a lawyer.

Under most circumstances, it is only eliminated when the parents have close to equal incomes. When one make significantly more, child support is based on the difference.

If there is an existing court order you need to take the issue before the court with jurisdictions and request a modification. The court will follow state guidelines and 50/50 custody may not mean 50/50 child support obligations. They court may consider the earning power of the parties, who pays for medical insurance, etc. You should speak with an attorney familiar with the court system or an advocate at the family court.

Girls should be educated for the same reasons that boys should be educated. So that she can get a good job to support herself and so that she can follow her career goals and dreams.

No, it's a matter for the obligor to report the situation to the court, and either request a modification of support, and/or custody order as soon as they discover that the child is not living with the custodial parent. The court can investigate the situation.

No, not without the proper preparations. The advice is the same for either a mother or father traveling alone with a child. If you are traveling alone with your child you should be aware that concerns about parental abductions has made border officials more vigilant when they find a child traveling alone with one parent. You should be prepared to produce documentation such as a letter of authorization or travel consent signed by the other parent. In some countries you may not be asked for it. In others, you will be detained until your authorization can be reviewed by officials. The child may even be questioned about the other parent. You should also note that you may have trouble re-entering the country of origin. In the US a passport application requires the signatures, or a notarized permission letter, of both parents to take a minor child out of the country.

I live in WI ..it means you have no rights as far as medical,school and any major decisions but you still have to pay support unless the child is getting adopted...in WI it is not that easy to do
