Child Support

There is no legal age for this decision.

If the parents cannot agree, they can take this issue to court and a judge will make the decision.

Many judges do take the child's opinion into major consideration, but they'll also look into more practical issues like income, relation, and former records.

You have no legal rights to anything, including contact with the child after the time of the birth. You voluntarily gave up any rights under US law by having sex with a woman you were not married to. This includes while being under a child support order. And no, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. To learn what you need to do, see the links below.

Yes, they can. My parents are divorced. They got divorced when my mother was 8 months pregnant with me. My father paid child support until he got sick of it. But anyways, my mum kept me, and I'm still with her, 13 years, and same as my sister. :)

Payment of child support does not, in itself, confer any right to visitation. However, the custodial parent must abide by any visitation orders. In many States, violation of a visitation order is a crime.

If your child doesn't want to see the father then the courts can not force them.

Practices typically collect payments from patients for services rendered, which may include co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses. They may also bill insurance companies directly for covered services on behalf of the patient. Additionally, some practices may collect payments from third-party payers, such as government programs or employers, depending on the type of insurance coverage the patient has.

I just went through this situation and the answer is you dont! Sucks...yes but as the judge looks at it you cant get blood from a stone.

Now his payments will back up and when he does start working again he will owe you all that back support and you can also try FRO. They will take his Tax returns and give them to you in lu of payments.

Child support can be garnished from unemployment benefits - contact your State's child support agency. Be patient but persistent. Good luck!

In some cases the amount that the obligated parent is to pay is determined by the court based upon the financial situation of both parents.

In the majority of instances child support is determined by the laws of the state in which the support order is issued and is based upon a required percentage of the total amount of the obligated parent's income.

well it does depend on how much you weigh if you are a child then you both would have the same acceleration but if you are an adult then the child would have no acceleration.

O: i am so smart.

If you can fart out of your chin you know your going in the right direction

An adult can pass mononucleosis, commonly known as mono, to a child primarily through saliva, which is why it's often referred to as the "kissing disease." The virus responsible for mono, usually the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), can be transmitted through direct contact, such as kissing, sharing utensils, or drinks. Additionally, it can spread through coughing or sneezing if respiratory droplets containing the virus come into contact with a child. It's important to note that an adult doesn't need to be showing symptoms to be contagious.

Marriage is an emancipating event. Generally speaking, child support terminates upon emancipation. So, if you want/need the child support to continue, he better wait until after graduation to marry.

Alot to consider:

The number of times a father can postpone a support hearing varies by jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. Generally, a court may allow a few continuances if there are valid reasons, such as needing more time to gather evidence or personal emergencies. However, repeated postponements without a compelling reason may lead to the court denying further requests and proceeding with the hearing. It's essential to consult local laws or a legal professional for accurate guidance.

Oh child support, well i am a single father of two tha i have raised by myself with an absent mother for the past13 yrs. in Indiana. She is suppose to pay support but doesn't. Back to your questions the court will probably make the father keep paying until someone pays for an attorney so the state or lawyers make more money from the parents and ultimately take from the children, to make sure the mother isn't going to change her mind and want the kids back. The father will have to pay until the court steps in and makes a judgment. How old are the kids and what state also depends Keep the best interest of the children first something dear to my heart jamie Davis

Yes. Parents are legally and financially responsible for the support of their minor child/children until said children reach the state's legal age of majority. This does not apply if the child leaves the state of residency without permission from the court in the form of emancipation decree or other change of custody order. The minor should contact the state's department of family services for assistance in this matter. Please be advised, if the minor is not residing with a relative or in a suitable environment with responsible adults, he or she may be taken into custody by authorities and placed in a group or foster home to await a judicial hearing. Parents are not automatically assumed to be guilty of neglect or non-support of their minor children. After the requied investigation,by the assigned state agency, the court will take whatever action it deems to be in the best interest of the minor in question.

He can be subsequently jailed for drug charges and that he's an endangerment to his children due to the choice of lifestyle. Liens can be placed on property of value like his car or anything of value to get the behind child support. * Child support arrearages is a civil matter and has nothing to do with the alledged drug activities. Recovery of child support arrearages and enforcement of child support orders can be done in two ways, by the custodial parent filing a lawsuit in the state circuit court in the county of residence or by enlisting the assistance of the state's child support enforcement agency. If the father has visitation or custodial rights and he is placing the child in jeopardy by his lifestyle the custodial parent should request an investigation by the state's department of child protective services.

At age 18. A child should always be taught to honor the authority of the court and the need of a parent in their lives. see links below
