Child Support

I am so sorry you are going through such a mess. Men are not too bright in this department and think they can have an affair; leave it up to the woman to deal with birth control and then the men are in shock when they find out they are going to be a daddy. There are several things to consider. You didn't mention if you had children of your own. You need to sit down with your husband and ask him why he had this affair in the first place. Then you are going to have to decide if he's worth keeping around. We all make mistakes and we all go through emotional ups and downs in our lives and it's important we learn from those mistakes. Hopefully, your husband made a mistake having the affair, got out of it and doesn't go down that road anymore. The only way you are going to get these answers to so many questions is from him. If you don't like what you hear kick him to the curb! If he is truly upset, admits to a mistake and looks you in the eyes and tells you it has only happened once and it will never happen again, then I'd give him another chance. The child is the innocent one here and your husband should be a man and take some responsibility for this child, but not until he is tested to finalize the fact he is indeed the father of this child. Good luck Marcy nothing. if you love him you love him. even if he has another child. but it is not up to others it is up to you and what you feel in your soul. good luck to you and be strong. It's hard enought to get past an affair. While the child is one of the innocent parties in this mess (along with you and any children you have), the whole situation can't be put in the past, they way some affairs can be. What if your husband decides to have a relationship with this child? While he should at least support this child financially and hopefully emotionally, it's not going to be a Brady Bunch blended family--there is going to be a lot of hurt and resentment about what has occured, even if you never know this child. If you decide to divorce him, do it now. Discuss the full situation with a lawyer, and make tough decisions about child support. If the child's mother demands, and wins child support in a court decision, you, not just your husband, will be expected to dole out monetary support. The reality is, this support will come at a cost to your children. Obviously this is a situation your husband brought on himself, but it still will affect other people's lives. Sadly, a lot of people, including your children and this child, are going to suffer for the stupidity of your husband and this woman.

no, she is no longer a minor shes considered an independent adult ..unless he still owes for pass support...arreage

yes or liquidated.

Need clarification on your question. ..... Enditled to pay child support?

Child support payments change or stop only by order of the venue that issued the order for support.

i live in home were am not wanted or love by but have family that loves me and want me to live wit them but i cant because of the people that am staying with the treat me really bad and the are making my life miserly and its effect my school work and feelings and i need help really bad

Relinquishing parental rights does not terminate support; however, generally, adoption does.

You can't. Child support is court ordered and family services handles payments. The money is to support children your father has produced. It is his obligation to pay the support.

That's a motion to modify retroactive child support. Most states will not allow it. Of note, Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement opposed the practice of backdating child support. see links

Personally, I have two children,10 and 3, and i allowed my children to be alone in the bathroom(with the door open, and often looking in on them) when they were 2 years old or so. Never before that age because they don't have the reflexes and other motor skills to prevent any accidents. I think letting them play in the water by themselves or an older sibling is great fun for them, and it allows a stressed out parent a break(it makes a mess sometimes but it's worth it, lol!) Just never leave them alone too long and keep music or other noise down so you can actively hear what's up in there. As for letting them completely alone in the bath(with the door shut) probably 5 years old or when they start kindergarden is cool. Another thing is don't let them lock the door in case they need your help. 21 years old! No, seriously, you NEVER want to leave a child alone in the tub, EVER. It takes only 2 minutes for tradgedy to strike. If they are old enough to bathe alone, no assistance, then it's O.K., but other than that, it's not worth the risk, even for ONE minute. Ignore the phone, siblings fighting etc.. If you must leave, take the child out of the tub and bring them with you. One mother I know, who had a hadicapped child in the tub with a safety stap on a special bathing platform went to get clean towels and was gone about 1-2 minutes. The child slipped down below the safety stap and DROWNED> It's not worth the chance. Besides losing a child, the guilt etc.. you could be charged with negligent homicide. PLEASE, do not leave a child alone in the tub, even under the supervision of an older sibling. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. GODSPEED

In matters of Child Support, generally nothing. The NCP is still obligated to provide for the care of their Child/Children regardless of the income of the CP's new spouse. For more accurate information, please remember to specify the State your matter is in. ---- Additional: California law provides that since California is NOT a Common Property State, the NCP's new spouse is not responsible for the debts of their partner. Common Property States may view this responsibility differently.

Go back to court, tell them he hasn't paid despite the order, and they'll go arrest him. Judges in Texas don't take kindly to deadbeats showing them who is boss. Contact your local office of the Texas Attorney General-Child Support Division. They are charged with this responsibility and take matters very seriously.

States do have laws against it, as well as it should have been addressed in the custody orders, but you should immediately file an injunction ordering her not to remove the child from the state pending a full court hearing on the matter.

I assume that you mean "from the biologicalfather". The father have every right to have you see his child when the child stays with him. The mother can do nothing about that unless she can prove you are unfit or dangerous to the child and then she will need a court order to keep you away.

Child support is not a factor when the issue is relocation by the custodial parent. The terms of the custody agreement determine whether or not a minor child can be removed from his or her current state of residence. If custody is jointly shared then both parents must agree to the move. In many U.S. states eventhe parentwho holdssole legal and physicalcustody needs the approval of the court before relocating.

Regardless ofexistingcustodial rights and/or state laws the custodial parent should seek legal advice before taking such action.

Not necessarily, depends on children. Most children try to find something common in others.

In my opinion, we all should value and respect others individuality.

Yes, he has a daughter named LeeLoo (after Milla Jojovovich's character in The Fifth Element).

buy the child what ever he/she needs like a bottle

Becoming a parent is an extraordinary responsibly at any age. It is always best to wait until you're absolutely ready, and have the resources to support a child.

He can refuse to see the child; he cannot refuse to support the child.

because, like a quote in the Bible: "And a little child will lead us", the child can make a big influence on mankind.

Application must be made in the Florida Courts to establish access rights. If there is not court ordered child support yet established, this should be done in Wisconsin as Florida has a retroactive child support law, and anything provided without a court order would be considered a gift. In this manner, jurisdiction for child support would remain with the state of residence of the obligor. Of course, a motion to determine paternity should be done first, in Wisconsin.

Setting up a voluntary child support order, without first determining paternity, can be easily done through the local Office of Child Support Enforcement, thus not necessitating the need to hire an attorney. However, if there is a need to first determine paternity, then a Wisconsin attorney will be needed. The reason for doing this first is that once support has begun, if later it is learned the child is not related to the obligor, the support order cannot be overturned.

A Florida attorney will be needed to establish the the access rights, but there are procedures that can first be taken in moderating the cost of this action. See related links below.
