What if the custodial parent has no children living with her but gets child support?

That parent probably should not be receiving 'Child Support' then, unless it is back child support that the other parent owed from beforehand or the children in question are attending school (including post secondary, even if they are not living at home anymore). Different jurisdictions have different rules, however, so you'll have to consult a lawyer familiar with the appropriate laws.

Are vaccinations the only way your child will acquire immunity?

No, immunity is also acquired from the mother and naturally through the interaction with our environment. Immunity can also be acquired by contracting a mild form of some diseases. Efforts to give a child a completely sterile environment may prove to be counter productive resulting in less resistance to disease and diseases that have grown more virulent.

Many childhood diseases have been wiped out through immunization programs.

How does the father who has never seen the child and is paying child support give up his parental rights?

He can give up paternal rights, but he will still have to pay child support. * File a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition in the appropriate state court in the county of residence. The judge will decide if the TPR is to be granted and if so to what extent. If the judge feels it is in the best interest of the child for the father to be removed from his or her life then child support obligations can also be terminated.

What is the name of the check that a child can get from the government?

The government does not typically issue checks to children, but instead to their parents/guardians. Indigent children who are "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by SSA can get SSI. Children can get regular SSA payments based on their parents' SSA status, regardless of other income/resources. Indigent children can also receive TANF (this program is administered by the States).

What is the maximum allowed garnishment in Florida?

In Florida, the maximum allowed garnishment for consumer debts is generally 25% of an employee's disposable earnings. However, if the employee's weekly earnings are less than the federal minimum wage, the garnishment cannot exceed the lesser of 30 times the federal minimum wage or 25% of disposable earnings. Additionally, certain types of income, such as Social Security benefits, are exempt from garnishment. Always consult with a legal expert for specific situations.

If the father of a child gets BACK together with the mother of that same child can the two stop child support garnishment or will the father still have to have it taken out of his check?

If your saying that the natural parents of the child get back together, can they stop childsupport. Then I've been there. Me and my son's father got back together after 8 years. Florida ChildSupport Dept. is really messed up. It took us a year to try to close it. It was "lost" When my child was 4yrs, I signed paperwork to transfer case from one county to the county I currently lived in. I didn't know that they never finished tranferring case. Nobody could find it in either counties, and Dept of Revenue was no help!! I finally got an appointment with an Childsupport Clerk, at first they couldn't "find" my case. But I have him all the info,(2 case numbers??) He said he was sorry for all the stress this has caused. They closed his case,(yes, with arrears) and haven't had no issues since that day. Me and birth father are happily going on 8yrs together.

Why do I have to pay back child support for three kid's when 12 years ago I was told by the mother that if I made contact with any of them I would go to jail?

You need to find out what your rights are. This is a different situation from your last question. What I see as your biggest problem, the judge is going to want to know why you let her get away with this threat for 10 or 12 years. Did she have something she was holding over your head?

If you had a visitation schedule ordered by the courts, the judge is going to want to know why you didn't try to have visitation enforced when this happened. They will also point out (if you had court ordered child support) Why you didn't pay it, why you didn't bring it to the court's attention years ago that the mother was not allowing you access to your children.
