Does the father have to pay child support if he opposes the birth?

Yes. He didn't complain when it went in, so he can't complain when it comes out.

MY OPINION. Is the man so shallow to think that he can do what ever he wants and have no responsibilities? It sounds like he believes that abortion is an option. He wants the easy way out (for him only). Sexual intercourse has it's risks and one of them is a possible pregnancy. Suck it up and help support the child. I am a father and would do anything for any of my children.

Legally he is obliged to pay child support for any child he fathers but on that note i believe if he is not on the birth certificate (has not parental rights) he is not oblidged to pay child support (or have rights to access to the child either). You could legally write up an agreement between the mother and the father for child support instead of going through the agency as an option. And your child support should be apportioned to how often you care for your child.

Please note: Dont let people make judgment on your child custody/ support case as everyone is in a different boat. I personally believe both sides have a say in contraception so both are at fault if pregnancy occurs and i believe both should have a say in what happens if pregnancy occurs but it seems in this day and age the female rules completely. If she wants a child she will have one. I am a female and have seen both sides of the story many times and am sick of the way fathers get treated most of the time (yes there are exceptions to every case). To cut a story short child support is the law and although sometimes the law doesn't look so balanced we must all obey to make the world as balances as possible. Unfortunately the world is grey and the law is often seen in black and white,

What can you do if your child's father is months behind on child support?

What are the adult child ratios for KS2 in the classroom?

In Key Stage 2 (KS2), which encompasses ages 7 to 11 in the UK educational system, the recommended adult-to-child ratio is typically around 1:30. This means that for every adult, there can be up to 30 children in a classroom setting. However, schools may vary slightly in their ratios depending on specific needs, the presence of additional support staff, or special educational requirements. Maintaining appropriate ratios is crucial for ensuring effective teaching and individualized attention for students.

Is caring for a step parent covered under the federal FMLA?

The answer is sometimes yes. If your parent remarried after you were over the age of 18, the new step-parent would not qualify as a parent under FMLA. But a step-parent (or other guardian acting in loco parentis) who fulfilled the day-to-day responsibilities to provide care for and financially support you prior to the age of 18, would qualify.

An employer has the right to request documentation which verifies the marriage occured prior to the age of 18 or that the step parent has been acting "in loco parentis".

How do you go about filing a motion to modify a custody order?

You MUST know the law of the state in which the original custody order was entered. You may need to proceed in that state. In most states a change of custody can only occur if a parent can show a change of circumstances that directly affects the well being of the child. Some states will allow you to proceed without a lawyer if both parents agree to a particular change. The clerk of court or another judicial office may have forms to be completed and presented to a judge. The judge can then enter an order to make the change permanent. If the parents cannot agree, or the state does not allow you to proceed without an attorney, then you need to find an attorney. You will need to explain to the attorney why things have changed so dramatically that the custody of the children should be disturbed. You should be aware that some states will not allow any change of custody within a specified time period from the original decree.

How long do you pay child support in Nova Scotia?

For as long as the child is dependent

You pay child support in Nova Scotia for as long as the child is a minor and in school....ie - the child turns 18 but is still in high school until June of that year...you would continue to pay child support until the child graduates from high school. If the child continues on to post secondary schooling and lives at home with the custodial parent, the other parent continues to pay child support for the duration of the education process. However, if the child moves out to his or her own residence during the post secondary schooling process, the paying parent may then make the child support payments directly to the child.
Hope this helps!

Actually the age of majority in NS is 19, and under the divorce act you must continue paying while the person you support is still considered a "child of the marriage". basically until they are 19, if they are living with and under the care and control of the payee...even if they work and do not go to school, you will have to continue paying child support. You must have your child support order varied in order to stop the payments.

Can the mother close the cild support case?

Yes, with the approval of the venue that issued the order for support. (Note that the State may still have an interest in the case, as reimbursement for assistance provided.)

If a child has lived with her mother who has had primary physical custody for 11 years and at the age of 16 decides that she is leaving does the mother have any rights?

Simply, the answer is yes. A parent is legally liable for the actions of their child, child be define as "until the legal consenting age of 18". There are certain instances that a child can leave and be responsible for themselves prior to the age of consent. This action is known as emancipation. In this case the child must have a reasonable reason to seek such an action, such as having a job that will enable them to take care of themselves, and a few others. Contact you local legal aid office for more details.

What is Florida law on giving a child a last name if the farther is not your legal husband?

When you fill out the birth certificate you can give your baby any first, middle, last name you choose. If the child is already here & you want to change his/her last name -go to the courthouse and obtain the proper paperwork and I believe you have to put an ad in your local newspaper for a period of time (that way it gives anybody that would want to protest a chance to).

Can you be determined the father in the state of Texas even if you deny the child and the court wont allow a DNA test to prove who the father isn't?

Can child support garnish a lawsuit for over time?

All funds that are designated as income regardless of how or why they are obtained remitted to a non custodial parent are subject to child support garnishment. A monetary judgment due to a civil suit regarding overtime pay would be considered income.

Does very young children need their mothers more than their fathers?

I think it is very important that they have both mothers and fathers, but if a choice had to be made, then, all things being equal, I would agree that mothers are more helpful to young children. Mothers are the one's who can nurse a baby, are generally more nurturing of the sexes and are able to attend to the multiple needs of a young one more than males typically are. Though, nothing is true 100 percent of the time and each situation unique.
