Will children services take your child away if they find out your boyfriend was convicted of involuntary manslaughter but has served his time and is off parole?

Actually, Social Services only has jurisdiction if, and only if, a new complaint of abuse or neglect is made. They may investigate only that allegation. They may review past convictions, but since those past convictions rarely have anything to do with new allegation, cannot use this to make determinations regarding minor children.
The fact that a person has been previously convicted is not an indication or determination of "risky behavior" on the part of anyone, especially in the US. Consider for a moment that there are 350 million Americans. Currently there are 2.5 million people incarcerated (these are felony convictions), and this is fully 25% of the total incarcerated population of the world (while the US represents only 5% of the world's population). That 2.5 million represents about 25% of the total number of previously incarcerated Americans, meaning roughly 10 million or so Americans have felony convictions, 1/35th of the US, and this number is rising daily.
The child or children must come under the jurisdiction of a court for the child or children to be removed, and this cannot happen unless the child has been abandoned, abused, or neglected in some way by the previously convicted person or parent, or if the conviction of that person was for some manner of abandonment, abuse, or neglect of the child's or children's siblings.

Check the laws of your state. And, if Child Services does come after you, do what you must to protect your children, but do everything you can to make Child Services pay for everything wrong they do.

Promiscuous mom seeks child support from unknown father?

aok dont play...

Before support is ordered, paternity must be established. I.e., promiscuity has its price and, unfortunately, it's the child(ren) who will suffer the most ...

I assume she is demanding all the men in her town take a DNA test to see whose the father?

What does will you bare my child mean?

Have their baby-bear. Bare is naked.

In the alternate spelling, bear, it means to have your biological child through gestation, either with their egg, or with someone else's egg through in-vitro fertilization. (This is a complex topic, fraught with legal ramifications. If this is the meaning and intent, it is strongly suggested that both parties have legal representation.)

How often should a father see his child by law?

There is no law specifically compelling a father to see his child with any set frequency, and the only laws regarding how often a father who wants to "see his child" can do so are the ones enforcing compliance with whatever the court custody order and/or any applicable restraining order says.

Can a non custodial parent be sued by the child for emotional and mental abuse?

SInce this is not the forum to discuss the details you should speak with a legal advocate or attorney who can review the situation and explain your options. Generally, in order to sue there must be damages. I assume you have used the court system to stop the visits with the non-custodial parent.

If your child is foreign born and illegal and you too can you file for child support?

Unfortunately yes. This is a clasic example of the problem with illegals in our country. They can eat up our tax money and waste our resources on this stuff.

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?

Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs.

If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents.

If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

If you are delinquent paying child support can your drivers license be revoked?

Your drivers license can be suspended. You may be able to avoid that by entering into a payment plan with the relevant State agency.

Can a man other than your husband get a DNA test on your child in Missouri?

Yes. Sometimes it is necessary when the husband is not the father. The biological father who wants his parental rights has to prove it by a DNA test. A male who has not been named the father of the child must obtain a court order before he can impel the child's mother to allow paternity testing.

Does wife pays child support if husband is in prison in the state of NC?

So neither parent has custody of the child? If so, the mother may be ordered to pay child support during the father's period of incarceration if a modification is filed by the legal guardian and depending on how the court rules. The father's obligation to support their child does not disappear due to their incarceration and they will be expected to resume child support when they are released and any amount in arrears that accumulates while he cannot pay. If the court rules that you are to assume child support during the other parent's period of confinement, it would be up to you to petition to court to have your money reimbursed, less any overage that may occur based on calculated differences in the child support obligation. If you already have custody, this would be a moot point.

If you let your child visit his father who is not on the birth certificate and he will not return him can you get the child back with the police or can he just keep the child?

There are many unanswered variables to this horrible crime such as...Across state lines? Childs' age? Custody papers? If there is no court order as to custody then you both have the right to pick up the child wherever he is. If you have proof of residency such as an address on the daycare papers or school files you have a shot of getting him back. Its all a game of proof. Get a free counseltation with a family lawyer. Good luck.

What are Oklahoma laws on termination of parental rights of an unborn child?

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

How long does Missouri have to pick up someone from Utah for a child support warrant?

In this economy, they can no longer easily jail someone for this, so they may not period until the economy picks up.

The fed govt will not generally qualify an 18 year old as independent but child support enforcement ends at 18 in NC so how do you get child support help for college?

You don't. As you stated, in NC you cannot get child support past 18 (unless the non-custodial parent voluntarily agrees to pay it). What the child needs to do is file for financial aid based on the custodial parent's income. If they don't qualify for financial aid, they get a loan or a job (I worked full time while attending college full time for 4 years--it can be done).
