What should you do when a child verbally abuses his mother?

Talk to your school counselor, your preacher, your grandparents, if talking to your parent is not working. Try telling them how you feel and why. If the person is abusive, then you will need to compartmentalize the situation, so that you can continue to grow in other areas. I grew up in such a situation, minded what I could at home and absolutely took care of my schoolwork. Time passed and I was able to make arrangements to go to college (I did not have my parents pay any part of it)and move out. I don't know why I saw that I could not ever please my mother and stop the abuse and so did not try (besides doing my chores, etc. so my conscience was clear). This was a hard time for me, and I am sorry you are also going through it. If you have access to someone to talk to in these enlightened days, that is great. However, you can get yourself through this by determination that you will not carry on the same. Please do not marry to get away from it; you'll likely find yourself in a new situation that is ever so much the same.

Do you have to pay child support if the other parent does not want it?

Usually yes, but the amount will be based on factors such as your income, the other parent's income, etc. Try citizens advice bureau (if you're based in the UK) or equivalent for specific advice. In the US custody and child support are different issues, one has no bearing on the other. If there is a child support order in place the terms should be adhered to until/unless the support order is rescinded or amended. The paying parent should never arbitrarily cease paying the required amount on the specified date. Such action can result in contempt of a court order, nonsupport of minor children charges and so forth which may result in the non compliant parent being jailed.

Can an unmarried father be on a child's birth certificate and still not have custody?

United States

This is a legal problem. In the United States there are laws and guidelines that govern domestic issues and no person must try to solve this type of problem on their own. The laws provide checks and balances to protect the legal rights of the individual from abuse by stronger individuals.

  • An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until that status is modified by a court order. The father must establish his paternity through the family court and then obtain a court order to establish his custodial rights and/or visitation rights. A child support order can be issued at the same time.

The mother should contact an attorney or a legal advocate at the court immediately. She may be advised to request a restraining order and to have the child returned from the father's home. The state laws must be applied in this case and the court will render its decision based on those laws.

The statute of limitation on debt collection is the same in every state of the United States under the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act)/ The Act provided creditors seven years from the date of last payment to collect a debt.

Which founding father had a child with a slave?

Thomas Jefferson is alleged to have fathered Sally Hemings six children. The first of the children died in infancy. Sally Hemings is said to have been the half-sister of Jefferson's deceased wife, Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. DNA evidence connects the Jefferson line to the Hemings line, but does not conclusively prove that Thomas Jefferson was their father. It is said, however, that because Jeffereson kept Sally Hemings as his concubine, it is unlikely that he was not their father. You need links to follow up on this.
