In most states, in this situation, the paternal father would have no rights pertaining to the child unless and until a judge determines the scope of those rights.

Even if the paternal father is ordered to pay child support for the child, the burden is upon the paternal father to establish any parental rights from the court of competent jurisdiction.

Seek legal advise in your particular state however; most states follow this guideline or guidelines similar to this.

Well you will have trouble finding a job that doesn't invovle cleaning or frenchfries. Your income is likely to never exceed 20,000 a year. As a result of that you will not be able to have a new car or a house and life will pretty much suck ass. YOU NEED TO FINISH HIGHSCHOOL...i dont care if you think its pointless or if you think you can just join the military or whatever, i promice you that if you drop out you will regret it for the rest of your life. Did i mention you need a highschool diploma to go to college.

This usually happens preparatory to an adoption or after a finding that the parent in question is unfit. In any case, giving up parental rights doesn't exempt one from child support.

I don't believe she can move out of state. (My buddy had to deal with this recently - painful!!) However, I suggest you contact a lawyer. Good luck. She has the right to live anywhere and, with agreement of the court, assuming she has custody, can take the children with her.

it depends ifyou currently have custody of your grandchildren already. if you do then you must go through an adoptiion. otherwise most states wont grant fulll custody. grandparents used to have what they call grandparents rights but many grandparents abused that right so now a child must go through foster care and the courts.

In ALL 50 states you pay child support until your obligation is complete. If you owe back support (regardless of what state you are in) you MUST pay the back support regardless of the age or disability of the child. In unique circumstance the age of the child support obligation can be increased through a guardianship probate court case

in the state of Tennessee, you have to pay support until the child reaches 18 or graduates from high school, which ever is LONGER. In some cases, it will be in your child support order, you may have to pay until the child finishes college, sometimes laid out to be a 4 year college. if the child moves out, gets married, or drops out of school before 18 years old, you have to go through the court in order to stop paying.

this is all the info I can find on it.

No, not unless the order is amended or a new order is issued. The best option is to obtain advice from a qualified legal source to be certain that the support order is being correctly interpretated according to the existing laws.

Depends on which family member. Grandparents are the only family members who have visitation right in the law in some states. Other family members have to rely in a good relationship with the parents.

That issue is affected by state laws and court orders and separation agreements. You need to find the answer before claiming the child. In some states the working custodial parent has the right to claim the child as a dependent regardless if the non-custodial parent pays child support in recognition that the parent with custody generally spends more time and money on caring for the child.

Yes, though usually only when you owe more than $5000. Unfortunately, it includes cases where you never knew you had a child and get hit with $5000 to more than $100,000 in retroactive child support.

Although I feel fathers should, in most cases, be part of their children's lives and certainly take responsibility for paying child support, it's dishonest to collect child support for two children when you only had one at home. If this was the agreement with the court, then yes, your ex can make you pay back some of that money. Let's hope he has a big heart! Marcy

It is fraud to collect child support for (2) children if a person only has (1) child. The person should absolutely return the money, it is not her's to keep.

Yes. When the state discovers the discrepancy the money will need to be paid back possibly with penalties. There could also be criminal charges.

Yes he can. The birth certificate does not give him parental rights, only the court can when he presents the DNA result. But if the mother is in the picture it will be shared custody at the most unless she is unfit.

If you mean RSDI, yes. If you mean SSI, no.

No...child support obligations may not be discharged in bankruptcy...out of the courts authority. There is virtually no legal way to escape your obligation on this. The Feds will withhold any benefit you may have coming, even well in the future (like Social Security, taxes, etc) to pay it back. And of course, they are YOUR kids...unfortunate they ended up with a morally bankrupt parent that wants to financially bankrupt them too.

My child's father left state for two year can he take my child for a week if i say no?

My Sons no longer live with me and when the checks come I just sign the back and return to their father who they live with. We both agree to just contribute when needed. Do we have to go to court?

If schools see a serious problem with a child, they will go to the local authorities. They will do whatever they need to do to keep their children safe.

Yes. If the parent ever need financial help from the state, they will come after child support from the non-custodial parent first.

Texas has no SOL for child support it must be "paid in full". If there is no court order for support the petition must be filed before the child or children reach the age of 18. If there is a court order the support obligation must be paid in entirety. This means that even when the child/children reach the age of majority (18) any amount in arrears still must be paid. The court will determine if it is to be paid to the child or to the custodial parent or a combination thereof.

No. The only two people involved in the financial support are the parents. Not that the new husband won't end up spending some of his money on the child, but it is not his legal obligation and does not lessen the responsibility of the bio dad.

I wouldn't do it without written approval of child support enforcement and/or the court. Get a printout on your payments from CSE first. I do hope you're paying through them and with a court order, otherwise anything you're paying could be considered a gift.
