How long does a parent have to pay child support in Washington?
Child support obligations usually end for the non custodial parent once the child/children reach the legal age of majority for the state of residence. For Washington State that age is 18.
However, an obligated parent should adhere to the terms of the child support order and not just the age at which the child becomes a legal adult.Child support obligationsmaycontinue past the state's age of majority for numerous reasons. It is always in the best interest of the non custodial parent to obtain legal advice before he or she ceases their support obligations.
No. He can sign over his rights but he would still be liable to pay child support. The only time he doesn't have to pay child support is if a stepdad wanted to adopt the child, then the biological father doesn't have to pay child support if he signs his rights away.

You can attempt to sue for custody, or visitation, although this may only work if you are married. Your local laws may vary.
She would need to prove that her husband was not the father of the child, as well as any other sex partners she may have had.
Of course the unmarried partner would be responsible for the child..but that's only if its his.
Both parents for the sake of the child(ren) should try to reach a compromise on such issues. If they cannot, one or both may request arbitration or counseling through the family court. It is always best for everyone (especially the children) if such problems can be remedied within the family structure. Seeking the advice of the attorney(s) who were involved in the custody proceedings is often helpful.
If a child is 6 years old what grade is the child in?
Normally 1st grade. But if they got held back then kindergarten.
It actually depends on what school district you are in. Most schools have kindergarteners at the age of four to five, first graders at the age of five to six, and second graders at the age of six to seven. So it's safe to assume any six-year-old is in the first or second grade.
Can the father legally get child with custody agreement after not seeing child for 5 months?

What rights do you have as the unmarried mother of children who have their fathers surname?
If you were never married to the father then you have all the parental rights until the paternity of the father has been confirmed by DNA testing or by his signing the birth certificate. Once paternity has been established, you should petition the court for a child support order and a visitation schedule so that the father will be officially financially responsible for the support of the children and also care of the children. He could also petition for custody.
You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your rights and options. If you cannot afford one then inquire at the local family court to see if there is a legal advocate who could help you.

Do child survivor benefits extend to high school completion?
My son will turn 18 in Sept but he will only be beginning his senior yr of high school. Do his survivor benefits continue until he graduates or do they end in Sept?
I doubt it. Your new spouse is not related to your child. Child support is between the parents of the child. Regardless of combined incomes, it is the parent that pays according to what is judged to be the necessary amount. And many times the courts don't care if you can't afford it. You are obligated to financially support your child and if you have to take two jobs to do it, then that is what you do.
Get a court order terminating support as of a specific date, with a finding as to the amount of arrearage, or that there is no arrearage. Then send certified copeis to the child support agencies in your State and the State where the child lives and/or any other orders were entered in the matter.
