Is a father relieved of his financial obligations if he signs his rights away and the child is adopted by someone else?

Yes, the courts want to see that a father has taken finical responsibility for a child and if the biological father has forfeited his rights through adoption, the adoptive father is now the responsible party, NOT the biological father through the eyes of the court.

Who receives the child support payments?

the caregiver of the child. the word support means to take care of, so child support, means to take care of the child. which means that child support payments should be given to whomever is taking care of the child in order to support that child.

Pay your child support through either the courts or the State disbursement unit. DO NOT give any money or anything else to the obligee unless you want it to be considered a gift.

What happens if you give additional child support payments without a court order?

If the amounts paid are over and above the amount due in a child support order it would be considered a gift to the child's mother.

If there is no existing child support order you should make payments by check. If the mother eventually seeks a child support order the court can go backward to collect child support that should have been paid. If you have proof of payments they will result in a credit.

What would be the benefits of paying off child support in lump sum?

It depends on the needs and preferences of the obligor. Some people like to take care of financial obligations all at once rather than remembering regular payments.

You must keep very good records (and proof of payment with the dates listed) so that anything you pay over the weekly or monthly amounts is not considered a gift.You should consult with your attorney. You may be able to have an agreement drafted to cover your proposal.

Pay child support if it is not ordered?

This is not a good idea (at least, not for the obligor). Get a court order setting forth payments and when they end. Pay your child support through either the courts or the State disbursement unit. DO NOT give any money or anything else to the obligee unless you want it to be considered a gift.

Can a non custodial parent enroll a child in public schools in CA?

Does your ex-spouse have to serve you in order to get child support?

Your ex spouse must make every attempt to have you served. However, if you have no address or have not provided it then the notice can be sent to your last known address and published in the local newspaper. That would serve as your legal notice. If you don't show up at the hearing the court can establish a child support order in your absence.

Can you complain to the government if the father of your baby does not pay child support?

The filing of a complaint for non support is actually a lawsuit. You must file the lawsuit (child support petition) in the state family/domestic court in the county in which you and/or the child is a resident. Please be advised, before child support is considered paternity must be established, preferably by DNA testing, although the majority of US states will also accept blood testing.

After home schooling a child for many years is it possible to put them back in the public system?

It depends on the personality of the child, their level of intellect, and their strength of character.

To give you an example, I'm 19 years old, good at English, arty stuff, good communicator and thinker. I'm also a competitive person. Apart from the fact that I know, from personal experience, that kids are incredibly cruel to "different" ones, and would ridicule the fact that I was home schooled, my competitive, communicative nature would have helped me cope with going to public school.

My 17 year old brother, on the other hand, is shy, had a tremendous problem with English (still has trouble with some words today). This difficulty would not have been helped by the public school system, he would have got worse at English, lost his already low-self esteem and suffered.

My 15 year old brother is very smart and scheming. He wouldn't have suffered academically, but he would have got very frustrated because he has a low tolerance for subjects he considers "irrelevant". He probably would have got into trouble trying to con people out of their stationery or lunches or whatever!

My 13 year old brother is, from the point of a nasty school kid, a major geek, nerd, whatever they call "weirdos" today. He wouldn't have been able to make the transition from the family environment of love and tolerance to the public school teasing environment. He plays the fool, but he's really quite sensitive. He would have suffered emotionally.

My little 10 year old sister is nothing but sweet, and she would have been spoiled. She's a toughie, and would have put on a tough mask, but I know that she'd be a sad little person underneath it all.

My youngest brother, 7, is mentally retarded, so he can't go to school yet anyway.

When you bring up kids in one environment and then suddenly everything's different, it's a big shock--like a divorce. Sure, they "cope" in their own peculiar way, but they're altered. I think it's important to avoid emotional disruptions to children, especially in the delicate teenage years when they're going through puberty and everything.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Yes, absolutely - i think that's possible.

I've got friends who have been home schooled for many years and now they are in high school (or secondary school, whatever you call it).

I think above answer is correct, so I haven't deleted it! You have to seriously consider the personality of the child, as some people simply will not adjust. Being home schooled is so different to being schooled. It doesn't only affect your education, but also your social skills, personality and interact (your not forced to socialize with people).

To make it easier i think you would have to consider the transition and take it nice and slow; whether they are young, old or have a disability.

To start; maybe go to the open day, or chat with the teachers at the school.. enroll in clubs, societies, groups or gym.. this will all help with the transition of heading back to school.

If you have primary physical custody and joint legal custody do you have move rights then the parent that does not have physical custody when it comes to the best interest of the child?

Can dad change custody order to an equal shared parental responsibility and pay no child support?
