Does the non-custodial parent have to pay child support while the child lives with him for 3 years?
Yes until ruled on otherwise by the court. In Missouri, after 30 days, the obligor parent can notify child support enforcement and request a modification. see link below
Do I have to provide diapers for the non-custodial parent?
No. If he bitches, let me know, I'll talk to him.
There would be no desertion or abandonment since the parties are divorced.
The answer is simple:
- Child support is paid to the parent who has physical custody of the children by the parent who does not support the children in a residential setting on a daily basis. The child support goes toward the expense of providing a home and necessities for the children.
- Your boyfriend has to pay child support because he is the children's father and therefore legally responsible for the children's support.
- You and your child have nothing to do with your boyfriend's obligation to pay child support for his other children.
- Now, the questions that you should consider are: Why should your boyfriend get to not support his children because he has started another family with you? Should he be allowed to leave you eventually, start a third family, and not help support the children he makes with you?
It will probably depend on the court order or agreement that sets up the rules for child support in your case. If there is not a court order, then there really is not any enforcement of non-payment available to you. Most states have a formula per child that the non-custodial parent pays toward child support. In Texas, it was 25% of the non-custodial parent's income per child--not really with any consideration of which person made the most money. (disclaimer: this is information based on experience, not a law degree!)
What is the legal age for an underaged mother with a child be classified as an adult?
When she reaches the age of majority for her state, age 18-21.
Can a non custodial parent get the child every other year?
The non-custodial parent can petition the court for such an arrangement but it will be up to the court to decide. An argument could be made that might not be in the best interest of the child if he/she won't be able to maintain the same school and group of friends. You should consult with an attorney who could review your situation and explain your options.
What happens when father wants to lower child support if he has not paid since 2006?
In general, a change in child support requires a change in income of at least 20%. Keep in mind that child support cannot be modified retroactively, so he still owes the unpaid amount from 2006.
What country can you escape not to pay court ordered child support?
i dont think i should answer that.....
It's possible. The child would need to have an advocate or guardian ad litem go to court and seek a modification of the custody and support orders.
You can't get money out of the unemployed, and if the father is illgal, good luck findimg him if he doesn't want to be found. If you ARE the father, go to Legal Aid, and ask for a an Immigration and Family Law lawyer.
Can you sue your mom for leaving you?
Generally, and unfortunately, you cannot sue your mother for leaving you in the United States. If you live with your father the Family Court can require her to pay child support to help pay for your needs. If your father is not available, the state can appoint a guardian for you (perhaps grandparents or aunt & uncle) and then require your mother to pay child support to that guardian.
If you were paying, plus 50% toward arrears, you should have motioned the court for a limited use license. If you have been making a monthly payment of at least 150% of the amount, contact child support enforcement about the license issue. Now, why were you in arrears? see links

Not really enough information given in order to answer. Sign an order for what? Affecting who? Who 'dismissed' the judge from the case? If you think the judge issued an improper order AFTER she no longer had jurisdiction over the case, take the order to the judge presently presiding over the case and ask him to "stay" the other judge's order.
I have personal experience with this, only my ex was safe from the US legal system as he filed the divorce in Europe. After many years of outrage on my part and taking him to task, I realized he enjoyed it because the focus was on him and he was getting a narcissistic feed from my negative energy. I went back to school to get my Ph.D. in Psychology, forgot about the money, just listen with understanding when my children complained, and ignored his bad behavior. I did this so that I would not be swallowed up with bitterness. To my surprise, this really gets his goat. We only communicate by e-mail and I never answer right away. I give intentionally bland responses that are matter of fact. He will throw back a few attempts to get me embroiled again but soon gives up. I have struggled with money, but my 14-year-old daughter sees me as a stable and competent mom that is a bit strict, but safe. She is wary and guarded with him, but I see her taking a similar approach. If she feels that he is bullying her on the phone, she just states that she needs to go. We can then talk about her feelings and since I am not engaged in the battle, I can listen and support. You have the power to let him have the embarrassment of laughing his butt all the way into court yet once again. He pays (by order of the court) or he goes to jail. Now how is that going to look on his record? LOL Marcy * "Revenge" is not generally synonymous with a person's legal rights. The custodial parent should contact the state of residency's department of social services, child enforcement division. * The law will catch up with him sooner or later...most likely sooner. Once you take him back to court and they see that he has not paid a cent of what he was suppose to, they will either lock him up or give him a month to make the payments, which includes all back payments. If after that month they see that he is still not paying, he will be charged and sent to jail.
How do i put my child's father on child support without him getting sole custody from another state?
How would he do that without being in possession?
no
Why did your child stop talking?
My antenna went up on this one. If your child is very young, you need to be mindful that some important developmental things should be going on. Please get to your child's doctor without delay if your child has stopped talking and should still be in the process of learning to talk.
If done through the court
If you're on SSD, there is a child benefit child. SSI & Retirement have no such provision. SSI cannot be attached for child support.
What happens if you don't attend court ordered parenting class in Minnesota?

Then it is up to state laws and the judge to impose the penalty. Your question cannot be answered definitively.

How should ex spouses communicate when they have new spouses?
Many have a a good relationship with their ex and can speak on the phone like normal people regarding their child. Others don't have such a great relationship and can only speak through their lawyers. Clearly the first example is the best one, especially for the child. The new spouse will clearly be in the child's life, that is what happens when you split up and move on. That does not mean the new spouse in any way can take the biological parents place. Children have room for all of them. But the most important part is that it's the biological parents only that makes the important decisions regarding the child. A step parent do not have any legal rights to the child.
