Can the non-custodial parent request an injunction for your daughter with her being 6 and has never been a part of her life or helped out in any kind of way?

In California, unless the noncustodial parent is unfit, the court will order that slowly the parent be introduced into the child's life. For instance, start off with a 2-hour supervised visit once a week for a month, then an unsupervised daytime visit once a week for a month, followed by one overnight visit a month for 3 months, then every other weekend for several months. At this point, the court is hopeful that both parents can reach an agreement through mediation as to what is the best visitation schedule for the child. The baby-steps I mentioned above are usually followed by a social worker or court-appointed mediator to ensure the child is adjusting appropriately and to ensure both parents are behaving responsibly. If the custodial parent talks badly to the child about the noncustodial parent, the court will speed up this process and reprimand the custodial parent. Remember, it's all about what is best for the child.

How do you mediate child matters with your ex wife?

If there are no orders in place by the court, I would suggest you start there - if the parents are not able to come to a decision - mediation will be ordered by the courts. Hopefully in the near future you will both be able to work together in regards to caring for your children.

If you have not seen your father in over a year can he demand visitation rights?

If you are a minor this is up to your mother or guardian if they have sole custody, which appears to be the way it is. Your father can demand all he wants, but depending on the reason why he was out of your life (it had better be a good reason) the courts may sway in his favor. If this should go to a court of law you have a right to decline to see your father even as a minor. If you are not a minor you have the right to decline to see your father. Short of your father being in prison for a terrible crime, he was abusive or a sexual predator then sometimes it's best to face your father and listen to what he has to say. You are young and sometimes things happen in people's lives and they may disappear and not come back into the family fold for even years. You need to see his side of things so you can honestly judge him and either accept him or get on with your life. Whether you like it or not he is part of you genetically. Either way you need to lay this to rest. Good luck! * Yes, any parent who has not had parental rights permanently terminated by the court can petition the court for visitaion or custody rights to a minor child. Pertinent matters such as lack of parental involvement will be addressed by the court at the time of the custody petition hearing and not before.

Father not on birth certificate. Does a father have to pay back child support after positive DNA test 13 yrs later?

Every state has a statute of limitations as far as determining paternity and the length of time for obligation to pay retroactive child support varies from state to state as well. You would need to provide your state of residence and your child's current age for an accurate answer.

Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?

Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague.

So let me see if I can break this down:

Let's talk about the long shot scenario:

You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen:

a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support.

b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support.

Easy scenario:

You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.

Alimony v Child Support-What are benefits and negatives of one over the other?

Actually, limited time alimony is better to pay than child support.

Child support separate from alimony only became common some 40 years ago. Alimony is tax deductible, while child support is not.

When calculating child support, alimony is a deductible item from gross earned income on which the calculations are based, thus less child support is ordered. In addition, the alimony adds to the total taxable the other parent, resulting in them taking on a greater obligation in the support of the children.

Balancing the benefits of one over the other is something to discuss with a tax accountant. Reducing taxable income, as a result of paying alimony, could bring the obligor into a lower tax bracket. Combining this with the lower child support obligation could actually create an overall savings as compared to just paying child support.

Im not divorced and your ex husband is not the father of the child whos name can go on the birth certificate?

The name of the actual father of the child should go on the birth certificate. If you are not legally divorced, then your legal husband would be automatically considered to be the child's father by law. If the child has a different father, he can complete a voluntary acknowledgement of the paternity of a child, in which he signs that he is the child's father and is therefore put on the birth certificate and named as the legal father. The hospital will help with this after the baby is born.

Is it abandonment if your unable to see child?

Abandonment is usually defined as a failure to provide for the child. As long as you continue to provide for the child, it's not abandonment, regardless of whether you see the child or not. For example, sending your child to boarding school, where you pay his or her living expenses, for most of the year is not abandonment even though you may not see the child for months at a time.
