If the child lived with non custodial parent for 9 months and 3 months with custodial parent who claims the child on taxes?

Of interest, this was brought to my attention today. It fully depends on how much time each parent has the child, and not the court order. But, it requires keeping a detailed record.

Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year. It can be found at http://www.irs. gov/pub/irs- pdf/f8332. pdf

Regardless of ANY court order the IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent. I would personally have her fill out the 8332 and keep it in a desk drawer just in case she challenges your ability to file, and I wouldn't fudge at all on your taxes.

My ex doesn't have court ordered child support. He has been giving me cashier's checks that say support on the memo line. Is that considered child support?

If you file a petition for child support he can show proof of those cashier checks to offset any back child support the court may award to you. He is being extremely smart by paying you by check and keeping a record.

Do you have to pay childsupport if the child get left back and he's 18 years old do you have to pay child support?

You need to review your divorce agreement and your child support orders. Your obligations should be explained in the orders rendered in your case. You are also bound by the laws in your state. Most states require you to pay until the child reaches the age of 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later, meaning if he's still in school, you still pay.

What happens with child support when parent being paid dies and child is now in guardianship care?

The guardian gets the child support, but the child can receive social security on behalf of the deceased parent until they are 18.

If you live in BC and your child moves out at 16 has a part time job and is still going to highschool Does the non custodial parent have to pay you child support still or can he refuse or redirect?

The purpose of child support is for a non-custodial parent to help offset the costs incureded by a custodial parent in rearing a child. Normally, child support must be paid up until the child is 18 regardless of the child's living arrangement. In such case where an underage child is self supporting, by agreement the parents may chose to give the money to the child directly; have the money set aside for a special purpose (i.e. University), or alternately discontinue payments altogether. Refusal is not an option.

Can you modify an order that the noncustodial parent gets to claim child on their taxes if he has never met child and is behind by 13 grand in child support?

The custodial parent should file for a modification of that order as soon as possible. Also, she should file a motion for contempt at the same time and get an action going for child support arrears.

If a biological father is not determined and the child is adopted by another man through the court can paternity be determined at 6 years of age and would the biological father have any rights left?

By Canadian Law if the mother of the child purposely did not contact the biological father and she married and her husband adopted the child and the biological father found out then yes, he can take you to court. If he can prove he's reliable, holds down a good job, is not into drugs and contributes to society then yes, he can have some rights. It will take a court of law and two lawyers to fight this one. The bottom line is ... "What is good for the child?"

I know a man who slept with over a dozen women and got several pregnant in several states and owes 2 people child support and the other women can't find him yet did he commit a crime and if yes what?

yes i believe he did commit a crime if he knows that he got them pregnant, and is hiding from paying child support. i think he can get fined for that, but doubt they would bother if he eventually paid up.
