Both spouses must list their incomes and from what sources those incomes are derived from during the divorce proceedings. One would suspect that both parties also file an annual Income Tax report - that will surely show the income.
no the child is already 18 then they are legally an adult and the parent doesnt need to pay child support
How do you adopt a baby when a mother wants to give up all rights to you?
We are in the same kind of process. First of all, if you have a borth mother already, that wants to give her child up to you, you will need a lawyer. Draw up a contract. She will really need a lawyer too. If she does not have the money, and you really want this child you can legally pay for her lawyer. You will want to have contracts drawn up and specify EVERYTHING you can think of. Then you move forward from there.
Answer2: When a parent voluntarily terminates parental rights states require one or both parents to legally consent to the adoption. Most states require
consent to be in writing and done before a judge or other court-appointed person. Many states have designed programs to help with the transition for all persons involved.
No. You file for child support. You visit the local family court and request a child support order be entered against the child's father. You may need to have the court establish paternity but the staff can assist you.

You cannot terminate parental rights automatically because of visitation and child support. It is advised to seek advice from an attorney for the next steps.
If you have just seperated, and are not yet divorced, you may file in either state. You need to be aware that if you file in Pennsylvania, you may need to travel to the court and appear before the judge. If you want to file in New York, you may need to wait an obligatory period of time (usually 3 - 12 months) before you file there. If you are already divorced and you want to change support and custody arrangements, you may need to file in Pennsylvania because the court retains jurisdiction to make these decisions.
Voluntary support does not preclude an order for support. Voluntary support can be taken in to consideration when determining how much, if any, retroactive support is to be paid. Support can be taken out of any sort of payment except for SSI or public assistance.
Does a father have to pay till his kids are 23 if they are in college?
Only in Missouri. see links below
Too many people involved. Leave the birth certificate as it is. Let the biological father continue to pay child support. If the current man marries you and wishes to adopt the child, then that is another matter. Seek legal advice before doing anything to change the birth certificate.
No. This would be fraud unless the child is adopted by your boyfriend.
Can you be jailed for not paying child support?
YES YOU CAN!
In most states it is called 'Failure to Support a Child' and it is a Class C Felony punishable up to seven years in prison! Each state has support amounts that trigger the state into filing for this felony charge, sometimes it is $5,000 some states it is more than that. If the authoritites pick up the person even on a routine traffic violation and run their license, the charge will show up and the person will be arrested and held WITHOUT bail!
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
What do you do if child stay with you and you paying child support?
If both of the child and other parent are living with you then you can indeed NOT pay child support, but that decision has to come from the Judge. You have the support somehow, and with child living with you and you proving clothing, food, etc to child child then you are doing your part. You need to provide evidence of what you spend to support the child, such as receipts, etc, and also provide evidence that child lives with you, such as video tapes, pictures of child bedroom. If the other parent just left the child with you and took off, then you could file for legal custody, on the basis of child abandonment. You can file both petition at your local family court (Termination of child support, full custody).
What legal action do you take to get the kids dad to see them on a set day each week?
A motion to establish an order before the court. See related question.
Can child support go back as far as child birth14yrs?
yes it can for they want to be more innderpendant and show you that they can be responsible
What is the new laws in Missouri for child support?
Question needs to be clarified. There are many laws, including:
* Child Support can be stopped, by court ruling, due to denial of visitation; * Child support can be stopped, after notification to Child Support Enforcement, after 30 days of extended visitation; * Child support cannot be stopped in the event of the death of the obligor parent.
Child support may be ordered any time there is an absent parent. Alimony or maintenance is almost always temporary - until the obligee can become self-sufficient.
Added: You can't have it both ways. You can speak with your church or religious leader about the possibility of the marriage being annulled in the eyes of the church, but (especially since there were children of the marriage) you cannot have it ruled, as a matter of law, that the marriage never occurred in the first place. The most you can hope for civilly is a divorce. HOWEVER - as the father of the children (either natural or adoptive), the father will be held responsible for contributing a certain amount to the support of the child(ren). Any alimony for the spouse would become a subject to be settled in the divorce action.
They feel they're too young or not financially able to support a child. A boyfriend/husband/father is typically the breadwinner of the family, so is responsible for making sure there is food in the cupboard, clean sterilised baby bottles, formula milk (or a kit for expressing breast milk into a bottle), a cot/crib for baby to sleep in, baby monitors, car seat + pram or combi, and much more.
To put it bluntly: Any guy can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Dad.
No.
In 30 states, you had a 24 month limit to learn you were not the father. In the other 20, it does not matter, period. Sue for custody. While you can't stop the support based on not being the father, she can use it to stop you getting custody. But, if she does, she forfeits the CS claim.

I wonder and wonder everyday am Ian unfit mother? I do not do drugs, or alcohol, a 100 % of my time for the babies( dad deployed), clean clothes , healthy foods , going out to the park lto the ibrary evereywhere, but I still feel unfit Why? is there any mother that feels she is a good mother? all of a sudden I saw myself married and with two babies in a row, at least I gave them a sibbling that is by far the best gift I could have ever given them.

All of what you described in the question does not in itself make you an unfit mother. It is how a mother treats her children that would bring legitimate suggestions of 'unfit mothering.' Since this has been placed in 'law' I am assuming it is more than just a passing comment from someone on your mothering abilities. If they were lacking in food, clothing, education, reasonable living conditions or health care that would be considered 'unfit' mothering. Also, a mother's addictions or lifestyle may in some instances add to the decision. If any of what I've mentioned is possibly the problem, try to get counselling help. Usually this is available free to those on low incomes.
If you feel you have been wrongly accused with unfit mothering, seek legal aid, which also should be available for little or no cost to certain people. This can happen from time to time, from false reports or misapplication of the law. Custody battles often bring this sort of accusation. You will need good advice from someone who specializes in these cases.
If you know in your heart that you do your best for your children, remember that they will almost certainly not agree with whoever said this. Children know if they are loved. Most stay-at-home mothers aren't social parasites and are doing a profitable and worthwhile job whether or not others see it that way.
No, it will not! Notarized form may support a contract, but will not be good in this case. The only insitution capable of issuing such on order and honoring it is the Court. Keep in mind, in most of the states, the court will iniate an investigation on why the father is giving up his rights.
