Child Support

The registered parent (on the birth cert.) is obliged to pay child support (maintenance) to the parent that has custody of the child... circumstances sometimes vary, but this is usually the case.

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.

No. What you suggest is not possible.

It's called child support. He didn't pay one or all of his ex-wives. One or more of them, wanted/needed the money. The court takes his check to give it to his ex-wife or to divide it among all of his ex-wives. That's what happens when you don't pay.

If the daycare is for the father's child, yes, at least half of the daycare depending on father's income versus ex's income. If the daycare is for the ex's child by another father, no.

Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.

The custodial parent is the parent in which the child resides with. My son lives with me and I am the custodial parent, his dad has visitation rights and pays child support.

If he was responsible for over 50% of the cost of the child, he can claim the child as a dependent. That would mean that no one else was entitled to claim the child, including the father and mother.

Only if the child is adopted or if the legal guardian goes to court to stop it.

When states determine the amount of child support a parent must pay they do not necessarily factor in the cost of living. The basis for support is determined primarily of the needs of the child, the income of each parent, the ability for the non-custodial parent to pay and the standard of living the child was accustomed to prior to the divorce or separation.

Actually, there is nothing in a name. You can change your child's name to your favorite actor's last name if you like. Relinquishing child support from the father would only take place if your new husband got permission from both you and the child's father to legally adopt your child. This would in turn mean that your ex-husband is not legally your child's father any more. Which can cause other issues. For example, in the event of your ex-husband's death, your child would not be eligible for SSI benefits because the child is not legally his anymore.

Due to the unknown and un-disclosed circumstances of the case, the "official" answer to this question can only be delivered by the court that ordered the child support in the first place. It is my undestanding that unless there are extenuating circumstances, most child support payments cease upon the minor either graduating from school or reaching 'adulthood' at 18 years of age.

The age of majority is 18 in Connecticut. Until then, they are considered a minor.

If the house is owned by the live-in boyfriend, it is considered his property and he has the right to not allow you inside the home. However, it is the mothers legal reponsibility to make the child available during visitation hours even if they have to meet you off of the property in question. If the boyfriend is refusing the allow the mother to meet her court ordered responsibility, he can be prosecuted in extreme cases. If it is the mother that is failing to meet the court order, she can lose parental custody of the child or be imprisoned for failure to comply with the courts decision. ---- See related question

He can give up his parental rights (this usually happens as part of the adoption process), but his support obligation continues until/unless the child is adopted. There is no "right not to pay child support."

The non-custodial parent will still owe child support, even if he or she is disabled and on welfare. However, most states will not garnish needs-based assistance such as disability or welfare payments. So if the parent is not working and does not pay his or her court-ordered child support, it would be difficult for the state to collect. He or she might still be arrested and jailed for failure to pay.

poor child!

Generally, no. The legal age of majority is still 18, even in your special circumstances. However you may have more of a case for emancipation than some. it depends on what state you are in you might wanna call some of your local police departments and see what they tell you but most likely you will be considered a adult because you are 17 not because of the child

Typically, a child born out of wedlock takes its mother's last name. However, in the US, one may pick any name for one's child.

no, but you can ask the court to modify so that money goes directly to the grandmother. The mother should also be paying. see links
