Child Support

Calling to check in on a sick friend

Yes

The amount of child support that must be paid depends on the income of the parents and is not impacted by the child being in the custody of a grandparent. You can visit the related link for a calculator based on your particular details.

Building and reinforcing

There are none that statutorily disallow such testing. However, all such decisions are made by the presiding judge based upon the circumstances of the case being heard.

Yes, depending on the divorce decree, a parent in New York State will still need to pay child support even when parent rights are terminated. This varies depending on exactly what the judge ordered at the child support hearing.

They can still garnish you, but you can appeal the garnishment through the Dept. of Ed. Ohmbudsman's office.

If you need help getting out of default, or getting a garnishment lifted, then contact Default Management Services, Inc. for help. You can Google the name for a phone #. Ask for Doug, he is knowledgeable.

No. When a minor has been remanded to the custody of the state only the court can assign legal guardianship or take action against the rights of the biological parent(s).

You must inform the ex and both of you should go the court house and see the judge that made the first decree and get permission. The person that wants to leave the country needs to do the right thing, for the child. I think anything over state lines can be considered kidnapping with out consent.

It should be that you have to go to the courts, everymonth and give it to them so she can go there and pick it up. Dont give it to her directly because she can claim you never gave it and dont give her cash. *
The terms of the child support order determine in what form and when payments are made. In some cases the payment is made to the state's child support enforcement agency. The court can also order the money be taken directly from the obligated parent's wages and sent to the CSE or the custodial parent's account, or allow the parents to set up a payment schedule between themselves personally with the terms included in the final order of support. As noted, cash is not a safe choice of payment.

It can be. The one does not automatically invalidate the other.

yes, , if you and he are separated

No, child support is not paid to the child but to the parent raising the child.

A judgment and a lien are two different things. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency about collecting any arrearages. 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!

At the request of the custodial parent or to recover assistance provided, the State may take various actions to collect past-due support, including garnishing wages, intercepting tax refunds and other government payments, placing liens on bank accounts, real estate and other assets, requesting suspension of drivers license, and/or asking the courts to put the obligor in jail for contempt.

You need to return to court and file a motion for contempt so aggressive collection measures can be commenced.

Yes, if amount owed in back child support is more than the tax refund. Garnishment percentage limits only apply to wages and other period payments. The entire amount of tax refunds can be applied to debts owed.

Depending on state laws, yes. But, frequently the custodial parent will begin blocking access to the children in order to get an increase. see link

Not if the claim is being kept current.

You will have to petition the Court to alter your child support agreement. Any changes, even temporary, would have to be acceptable to the Court.

SSI beneficiaries cannot be ordered to pay child support. Child support cannot be deducted from SSI payments.

probably

Public assistance payments are set by each State and vary widely - any average would be a meaningless number.

That is not generally a reason to reduce child support payments. The child support guidelines where the case is filed will still be used. You should visit the court with jurisdiction and inquire there.

It depends on the child support order and the age of the child. The rest is immaterial.

It might be helpful for you to contact the Child Protective Services in your home state. That would at least give you a start.
