If she no longer a dependent of yours she should no longer be entitled to the payments. They should have been paid to you anyway for her behalf if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure a check was never sent in the name of a minor. Make sure she does not call them pretending to be you and change the direct deposit account. Call SS to make sure no change has been made without your permission and maybe tell them not to let it be changed.

Does a notarized guardianship paper for a 16-year-old mean that the mother signed her rights over?
No. A person cannot lose their parental rights to a child unless they file a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition and it is accepted by the court or the court permanently terminates parental rights due to abuse, neglect or some other applicable issue.
He has the rights granted to him by the courts, if any. However, at age 20, the child is old enough to decide for herself whether she wants to see her father.
The issue to be raised here is whether she feels she is still under the authority of the court? If not, than should not child support be stopped?

You will have to pass that information through the court system where the child support was ordered to see how the payment will be credited.
AnswerNo. Arrears are a separate issue from regular child support. Payment of arrears does not affect the current child support order.
Well first of all the father doesn't sign a birth certificate he signs an acknowledgement of paternity with the unmarried mother and two witnesses to declare that he is the father. This legal document will allow the birth registrar to put his name on the birth certificate as the father. As long as the mother signs the acknowledgement then it will be legallly binding just as if they had went to court. If she chooses not to sign then the document will not be complete and on the child's birth certificate the father's name will remain blank. (Please remember it is very important to acknowledge paternity for the child's sake. It is very disappointing when a child looks at their birth certificate and does not see a father's name. Also the child will have the rights to certain medical information/hystory from their father in the event that child has a medical condition as well as the right to child support.)
Yes. If there's an order in place, your partner should immediately file a request to suspend support.

We homeschool our children. At the beginning of the school year each year we sit them down and talk to them to make sure they are still happy with homeschooling. It is a choice we make as a family and it will never be pushed or guilt tripped onto them. You should respect the parents decision in front of the child. If the child sees you openly going against their parents decisions, it will only cause more strife and make things harder on everyone. However, when the child is not around, you can sit the parents down and politely address your concerns. If you do it in a caring, but not accusing way, they may see your side. On the otherhand, there may be reasons that you are not seeing for what is going on as well. If so, they may be able to set your mind at ease.
Parents are the God given authority in a child's life. They make the decisions for their child based upon what they believe to be in the child's best interest.
Children may be unhappy about many situations, that doesn't the situation should be changed. So what can a small child do? Honor and respect your mother and father.
I think that last statement was ridiculous! Parents can be wrong, and if the child is being forced to do homeschooling he or she isn't going to learn much when he or she is so upset. In the long run, the child will be messed up. As far as knowing how to help. You really can't do anything by law but if the child is so upset he or she should express it to his/ or her parent and if the parent is loving and a good parent the parent will understand.
No need to bring religion into it. More to the point, what in particular is the child unhappy about? Is there a special friend he misses from school (supposing he has ever gone to one)? If so, maybe suggest a sleepover at the friend's home, or vice versa. Alternatively, are these particular parents just not very good teachers? It happens, though of course not just to homeschoolers. Or is it just a bit of "grass is always greener on the other side" syndrome? Has he been hearing from other kids about what they do at school, and think he's missing something? If this last, maybe look around for a not too dreadful school and give him a chance to learn that there's just as much to be unhappy about at school as at home.
If the child is resistant to home schooling, and would rather go to public school. The best thing to do is return the child to school. There are many times when the parent thinks they are acting in the best interest of the child but may not be. I was home schooled against my will and ended up dropping out. You can not force a child to learn. It is like the saying you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The child may need interaction with other children or need special help that you are not certified to give. If you as a parent do not like the public schooling system in your area, then try the private sector. Private schooling cost wise is not much different. Or if you really feel that this is something that will benefit your child and personally need to keep home schooling, look into co-op's in your area. there are several churches that have days when they will Co-Op and all of the children get to have class together. Remember if you continue homeschooling there will be no sports, prom, homecoming events etc. for your child. These were the reasons I was so hesitant in the Home schooling process. Although I can say that my sister and brother did well with the curriculum provided for them. Although it was hard for them to get into college. You should definitely listen to the needs of this particular child. All parents should at least listen. It is the child's life in the wings, and they should have some hand in their future .

Does the percent of child support come from the gross or net of an income?
The court calculates what the non-custodial parent will pay, based on the adjusted gross income and on the number of children involved. The court first determines the non-custodial parent's gross income, and then makes certain deductions (including Medicare, Social Security, and tax) to establish the non-custodial parent's adjusted gross income. * Child support laws and guidelines are established by individual states, some base the support on gross income some on disposable income. The percentage also varies widely from state-to-state, in some states there are maximum amounts regardless of how many children are eligible for support, in others the percentage is based on the number of eligible children.
