Can Social Security benefits be garnished to pay child support?
a portion can be deducted but not the whole sum
Answer
Depending on circumstances, the maximum amount that can be taken would run from 50-65%. Why are you in arrears? If there is a justifiable reason, the possibility still exist to get a reduction, or at the minimum, having interest penalties set aside. See links below.
How far behind in child support do you have to be to go to jail?

Can a mom leave state of Colorado with child with out your permission?
I'll answer your question with another one... Does the mother have legal custody of the child? If so, the answer is YES. Its required by most states (you'd have to check your state laws to get a definite answer) for the parent without legal custody to get permission to leave state for any time period that is beyond their parental visitation rights. During the time period they have visitation rights, they have full parental rights in most cases. Once again though, you'd have to check your individual states laws. Unless the law and/or courts decree that the biological parent in question cannot leave the state with the child and they return before the end of visitation, it is within their parental rights to do so.
You need to get a family law attorney. Depending on your state you maybe able to get help from family services through the Department of Social Services. There also maybe a family law clinic that can help you. I would start with the phone book and look under family law, or call Social Services and someone should be able to give you the next step.
How do you terminate child support if you are a non custodial parent?
Some options to consider:
The primary way to avoid child support is to be diligent about contraception. Do not have children you do not want to support.
If the child is adopted by another adult who is willing to step in as parent the non-custodial parent can give up their parental rights.
The specific arrangements for child support are initially set by the court and can be later modified by the court. Avoiding the obligation entirely is probably not going to happen, but if you are in severe hardship you may be able to get the amount of support reduced.

You never married the mother of your child do you still pay child support if she goes to college?
You pay nor or later. She has up to 18 years to file against the father, retroactive.
Are child support payments tax deductible?
You and the child's mother have to agree who is taking the child deduction (usually the parent with custody), so the child support is probably not deductible. Consult with a CPA or tax specialist to make sure; you can refile your taxes if there is some way that the payments are deductible--but only if a CPA says you can.
Can you get custody of a child that you are not the biological parent of?
If both biological parents are deceased, and you were married to one of them, your odds are better. Otherwise if one of the biological parents is physically capable of taking custody, you have a very slim chance of winning custody away from him or her. You would need to show the biological parent is completely unfit to parent any time now or in the future.
Another PerspectiveOn the other hand, there are many non-family guardianships allowed by the probate court depending on the circumstances. If the child needs a home and you are willing to provide it you may be approved by the court if the parents will consent or if there is no fit parent or relative who can give the child a home. The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to interview you and the child, and perhaps arrange a home visit. A good GAL will make a comprehensive study of the situation and report back to the judge with a narrative and recommendations. If all goes well, you may be appointed the permanent guardian.

The situation you describe is called Parental Alienation. Both parents may be guilty of doing it. Unfortunately, not all courts recognize parental alienation claims.
NOTE: Always contact an attorney in your local area to confirm the Laws in your State and jurisdiction and to obtain legal advice.
If it's not a court order, then it's not payable or collectable. There is such a thing a rerto active support is many states, usually it is limited to 1 year. ie, if the parent never files for child support and there nevr has been a support order, then past support is uncollectable no matter how many years.

Can someone get child support ordered on someone in army that is still pregnant?
Child support does not begin until the child is born and paternity is established.
In Kansas, support has to begin during the pregnancy.
I don't think they let you just sign away your parental rights, there has to be a valid reason, like other parents spouse wanting to adopt child. They don't let you sign over parental rights to avoid paying child support!
If the court order says the father has visitation rights, then the father has visitation rights and what the 17 year old thinks about it doesn't legally matter any more than the 17 year old would be able to get a court to find him not guilty of stealing something on the grounds that he really, really wanted it and couldn't pay for it.
So, yes. The 17 year old has to visit the father. The court can't require him to be happy about it, but they can require him to do it.
Generally means that the stated information is typically or usually the rule, but "generally" is not absolute.
It means that the court may decide on a later termination date to include college or because the child is severely disabled.

The base amount would not change, but any percentage of extras, such as insurance, could. But, she may be attempting a Rebuttable Presumption which allows for arguments outside the state child support guidelines for higher or lower amounts. see links
You can make a counter argument that she voluntarily decided not to return to work, and and thus should not be a consideration in denying the motion. If she is not living with the father of her other child, and will be getting child support, this means she will be getting another full child support payment. You might might consider getting with him and both of you file custody challenges.
If she's living with the father of the child, your argument can be that she is transferring some of the burden onto him, and thus his income should be taken into consideration.
Is it legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in Texas?
No, because it is considered bribing, and even if you could, I doubt a parent would give up a child for money if they are suing or have custody in the first place. If you want said child, you can sue for custody of the child. If you cannot gain custody, then the next best thing to do is sue for visitation.
It's not legal to pay a parent to relinquish custody of a child in any state! But if the parent in question has a child support award, he or she will be free of paying child support or being in any way responsible for the child from that day forward.
In Florida can an ex husband sue his ex wife for concealing his 7 year old child from him?
It is not clear from your question what you mean by conceal. Custody and visitation should have been addressed at the time of the divorce and he can file a complaint in the family court if she is violating any court orders. If she concealed the fact that he had a child then he should file a complaint to establish paternity as soon as possible. In either case, he should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues and is familiar with the court of jurisdiction.
