How can a father Put money in bank account for a mothers child?

* Have your banking institution create an account for the mother and just deposit the money in there. Make sure the mother has the account number so she can draw the money out.

If you give up rights the child will you still be liable for back child support owed?

First, only the courts AND the mother can allow you to give up parental rights, provided the mother is not now, or in the future, collecting AFDC.

It would stop current payments, but not previously owed payments, especially if she had had collected AFDC. They have override power.

If the biological father has not signed the birth certificate or affidavit of parentage and has given no support towards the child would a judge be likely to agree to an adoption by the stepfather?

Not without him being contacted as there's a high rate of mothers lying about this. They are receiving cash child support payments while telling everyone they are getting nothing. Also, women are known to wait up to 18 years to file a retroactive child support award after not having informed the man that he had a child. I received on of those cases today. The judge has to confirm the claims made.

Can you get a court order to stop paying arrears?

Generally, no. A court can terminate or modify a child support order but generally, you will still be charged with arrearages up to that date.

Is work required to take out child support by law?

Yes, assuming the question refers to the garnishment of an obligated parent's salary for child support obligations. In some states it requires a court order separately from the original child support judgment. In the majority of states when the payment is made via the state's child support enforcement agency it can be accomplished without a support hearing/judgment order.

When does parental obligation end?

AnswerLegally? When a mentally competent child turns 18 a parent has no legal obligation to the child. I have no idea if the child is mentally incompetent.

Morally? I guess that would be up the the parent and their relationship with the child.

I have a 20 year old Autistic son at home. Legally, I do not have to care for him but morally? I love him and do not want to see him homeless so he works and I handle his money so that he does not blow it all while I continue to teach him about the real world, bill and obligations so that one day he may be a productive citizen.

We make him pay rent which in turn I will give back to him when he moves out (even though he does not know that) and I make him purchase his personal products and clothing while I still prepare meals for the family so we do not make him purchase separate food unless he wishes to eat something else.

Why does the state hold child support payments insted of deposting the money into the account once it's received?

It's the government!!! Do you think child support account habits are any better than their other accounting habits? Plus, collects interest, plus 15% from the feds.

If your daughters dad never pays child support does it mean shes never getting money at all?

If it is court ordered, there's no statute of limitations on collections. If it's not ordered, an order can still be applied for within the limitations of your state laws.

What is a writ of habeas corpus ensure if you want to take your child out of the country and the father is nowhere to be found?

THE MODERN WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS: Today the Writ of Habeas Corpus is used in many different ways. It applies to post conviction relief in criminal matters even where the judgment of judge and jury is final. It applies to those who are in police custody but who are not charged with a crime. It applies to those who are awaiting trial but who have not been able to make an excessive bail. It applies to death row prisoners who challenge their death sentence. It applies to prisoners who remain in custody after the expiration of their lawful sentence. Additionally, Habeas Corpus applies to both adults and children who are restrained of their liberty in some meaningful manner but who are not in the actual custody of police or other public authority. For example, Writs of Habeas Corpus have been issued in civil cases on application of a parent where a child's custody is being sought against the wishes of the other parent who allegedly "restrains" the child.

Can adult child waive arrearages?

No. The custodial parent is/was the obligor, not the child.

How does child support work if you were never married in Arizona but just lived with someone and now you are split and moved to another state?

I suggest that you contact your current State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
