Can you bring your child with you to child abandonment court?
You will need someone to watch the child outside of the court room though because this would not be suitable for a young child to hear.
What does who knows only his own generation remains forever a child means?
It means that we should be students of history, because understanding that which has come before us gives one a far more mature perspective of the present and, arguably, the future.
Also to add. We have 50/50 custody and now we are paying her to have him for three days. Doesn't make any sense. We pay medical insurance and all of daycare and we still have to pay her for having my step son for three days? She just bought a thousand dollar tattoo and she apparently can't feed her children? I've been calling fraud hotlines and emailing them and no one is listening to me.
You correctly informed the public aid department about this. They have to prove that she's not eligible; this might take a while. In the meantime, consider returning to court to have child support modified to reflect that she has the child half the time. (However, keep in mind that the court might have already considered this when it entered the original order.)
If you haven't already done so, you can sue for child support. And if he doesn't want anything to do with the child, he can sign over his parental rights. But if you have no interest in making contact with the father other than talking about the child, you should make that clear to him.
What are West Virginia's deadbeat parent laws?
They pay or face contempt of court, but note that not all arrears are not a result of not obeying court orders. Nor is the totals of arrears owed the total of unpaid child support.
A man can be ordered to pay retroactive child support on a child he never knew existed. Further, 70% of arrears involve compounded monthly interest that has accumulated. Also, with 80% of all layoffs being men, many of whom pay child support, who do not have the money to hire attorneys to get a modification, thus resulting in accumulating arrears, which than accumulate compounded interest.
If someone gets locked up but has a child born in USA would the person get deported?
Possibly. Just having a US citizen child does not allow a person to stay in the US. There are a lot of facts that need to be analyzed, so I recommend getting an experienced immigration lawyer to help. S/he will need to know the reason that the immigrant is detained, the immigration history, age of the child, etc. Good luck.
The only limit is stated in the legal document describing this type of support .
I am NOT a lawyer, but have had someone try to put a time limit for my childrens' medical reimbursements in NY. Never upheld legally!
a child who has difficulty following rules, and may need extra support in every day life
What can the mom do to get child support from the dad?
File a complaint in the family court for child support.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
Sole custody and child support?
Sole custody is when only 1 parent has the right to choose where their child goes to school, which doctor they see, and what religion they partake in. Child support is the money that the non-custodial parent will pay to help support the child.
In Oregon how long after the child turns 18 can you collect on child support arrearages?
If there is a standing court order for repayment of arrearages, it will continue to be in affect until the monies owed are paid, regardless if the child has reached the age of majority.
Yes. There is no custody over the child. From birth until someone files custody it is joint. If he picks the child up and doesn't return you cannot call the police because there is no paperwork saying he can't. So. Yes he can.
Added: However, if the mother is unmarried during the 300 days prior to and after the birth of the child, paternity must be established in order for the father to have rights. It is not uncommon for paternity to be established legally later in the child's life. It would, however, be uncommon for a father who has never had interaction with the child to get full custody of the child unless the mother is unfit. He will, however, likely get standard visitation unless there is some reason for him not to. It is presumed in the best interest of a child to have a relationship with both biological parents.

Mother sign over rights to her mother i am the dad and pay child support what are your rights?
If you mean, what are the Dad's rights, he has the right to continue paying child support and the right to visitation, both as established by the courts.
Case law is not needed for this type of motion to amend, or reform judgment; all you have to do according to the Civil Code, is show that the judgment was obtained using fraud and the court will be required to set aside and reform the judgment (if the refuting information is true, correct, and could not be known or found at the time of the original judgment). The rules of evidence are very key in this type of case, study them well.
17 year old child your name still not on birth cert do you still paye child support?
If there is an order in place, yes.
If there's no order in place, one can still be done for 2-18 years of retroactive support
In the area of parental rights, in my experience and in that of hundreds - even thousands - of other dads, women can do what the hell they like. It's not about the child, or what's best for it, it's about them. The law can't touch them either: you can take them to court and win the case but they can still do what the heck they like, and get away with it.
In the US, a parent can give her child any name she likes; however, the man's name can appear on the birth certificate only if paternity is established.
What is a legally adopted child?
A legally adopted child is a minor who has been permanently placed in a new family through a legal process that grants the adoptive parents full parental rights and responsibilities. This process typically involves a court procedure that terminates the biological parents' legal rights and establishes a legal relationship between the child and the adoptive parents. Once adopted, the child is treated as a biological member of the adoptive family, with all associated rights and privileges.
Many have wondered that, however, why are you in arrears? Didn't you know there was free help to get a modification? see links
What are the laws on looking after a child while high on cannabis?
It is illegal to smoke cannabis, let alone look after a child whilst under the influence of it
If he is the biological father, yes. That is what counts. If the mother and this man knew he was not the father they have both committed fraud by having him signing the birth certificate. The child have a right to know who his parents are as well.
Can a 27-year-old sue for back support if the father did not know that he was the father?
No, in order for a lawsuit for child support arrearages to be valid the support order needs to have been in affect before the child reached the age of majority.
