Child Support

Custody is determined by the courts.

Yes. They are a minor and the parents are still responsible for their child's actions.

That depends on your intent and whether the other parent will oppose it. It can be done just using a mediator, or you will need to hire an attorney.

He could still be obligated to pay child support.

Yes, child support counts as income for the purposes of filing your FAFSA and applying for financial aid.

In Illinois, generally, support for one child is 20% of the obligor's net income. Net income is gross minus amounts withheld for union dues, health/dental insurance, FICA/Medicare, and taxes (based on the tax tables).

There is the option of you being able to live with your grandparents if that's possible. But it really depends on the state you live in. You would have to check with Child Protective Services to get more information.

You don't go to jail for non-payment of child support. It's for contempt of court, so it's up to the judge.

If the custodial parent is on any public assistance he or she must attempt to collect financial support from the non custodial parent or they will be disqualified for public aid.

You still owe the money. It is best to find a survival level job to support your child while you look for the job you want.

In the United States, once a Family Court has ruled on child support, you are required to pay that amount even if you are disputing or filing for a re-adjustment. That is, you will owe the amount the Court has dictated up to the point where it issues a new settlement order. You CANNOT stop payments while refiling.

If the question revolves around the custodial parent filing for child support, then yes, it is entirely possible for that parent to file with the Court to terminate the non-custodial parent's child support requirement, but at a later time, re-file with the Court to require the non-custodial parent to restart payments (the new payments will be determined according to circumstances at the time of the refiling, not automatically being set to the old amounts).

Let it go. If it was going to be paid, it would have been in times past. Once the child is an adult, the issue goes away. There is really no way to go back in time on this issue.

Every state has a set of child support guidelines that takes several factors into consideration that can include the number and age of the children, who provides health insurance, etc. See related link for Mississippi.

In Indiana generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later.

Neither child support, nor tuition for or during college is an obligation under the law. This is an issue that would strictly be covered under the provisions of a court order.

In most cases, a copay is un-reimbursable and the copay is un-reimbursable. It is ultimately up to the judge to decide what medical expenses are covered and not covered through the child support or custody case.

In Washington, a parent cannot ordinarily give up parental rights. The exception is if the other parent's spouse wants to adopt the child, and the other birth parent doesn't want to contest the adoption.

if support is awarded in court how does the garnishment get taken out

I believe the attributes needed are consistency and patience.

Yes. I know I am father of 2 children whos mother is on disability welfare. She was forced to sign over child support to welfare as condition to continue to receive benefits. Me grossing less then 900 per month on ei forced to pay $114 either directly to mother or to gov. If money directly to spouse that amount taken off her cheque. If paid directly to gov she gets whole cheque. She is still entitled to make $500 per month part time job but child support considered father contributing to money given to her by tax-payers. It sucks but you can't fight city hall.

Unlike court ordered parenting rights, there's no statute of limits in collecting arrears on support, but the claim needs to be kept active.

Absent a finding of physical or mental deficiencies, there is no legal duty to pay child support beyond the age of eighteen. Even though most parents willingly assist their adult children in obtaining a higher education, any duty to do so is a moral rather than a legal one, absent either a finding of legal dependence or a binding contractual agreement by the parent to pay such support.

No, because it may effect his/her vision and they wouldn't be able to learn.

The state will not pay child support. The state may grant TANF and/or medical assistance to the child/custodial parent if they are indigent. If so, or at the CP's request, the state will attempt to collect the past-due support.

There is a volume of evidence that those who leave school at 16 have little if any future. That is why the Law says you have to stay at school until you are older
