If they know where you are, yes. You can always request a placement hearing for temporary custody of the children. It depends how far the case has gone, how far along the mother is in her case plan and how aggressive you were to get the children into your home upon finding out about the matter. If you snooze, you may loose. You can speak to the State about the facts and how the mother is doing in her case plan (plan to fix the problem, drug treatment, parenting classes, battery intervention training and the like). You may still have a chance. GOOD LUCK

Would Under child support laws in NY can the custodial parent tell the noncustodial parent they do not want child support from them and then go to court and ask for back child support?

Probably not.

This is in most states.

I went through this as well.

I started my divorce a year later and well lost a year of child support thinking i had to start the divorce before I started the child support.

So no if you refused the child support in the first place there is no back owed, they judge will take the date that you filed for child support to current and that is it.

so if you filed June 2008 and you just got to court June 2009 and it was finalized, they will take if from the June 2008 date that you filed.

Not the date you got divorced.

This is with most states.

Contact an attorney to make sure, but it is like this in Maine and Utah and California and other states, so probably in New York as well.

Does a father who is unwed but on the birth certificate with no court documents still pay child support?

An unmarried father becomes legally obligated when a child support order is issued by the family court. If there is no court order any payments are voluntary. However, they should be made by check and the father should retain proof of the payments. Once the mother files a paternity suit and requests child support, the court can go back in time with a child support order. It may help if the father can prove he was paying prior to the child support order.

Typically, the mother or the local social/child services agency on her behalf (if the mother is receiving any public assistance) will go to court and get a judgment against the father to establish paternity and obtain a child support order. Being on the birth certificate may not be enough, though, if he decides to contest the order. He could request an order to establish paternity by DNA testing.

You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the family court.
