How much is 4 years of unpaid child support for 2 kids?
This depends on a lot of things: If there was an order in place, just do the math. If there was no order in place: whether the court decides to award retroactive support and, if so, for what time period; the obligor's net income; and possibly the State in which the children reside, among other things. In Illinois the minimum guideline for two children is 25% of net income.
If there was an order entered, the statute of limitations never expires on unpaid child support. If there was never an order entered, you're not going to get one entered at this point.

Can a judge take VA disability compensation for back child support?
Yes. Disability of any sort is not exempt from attachment for child support and/or child support arrearages.
You have just heard your csa case is closed you have 43000 in arrears will you have to pay this?
I'm assuming your CSA case is in the UK. You'd be best off re-phrasing your question with your location and other relevant details so that a person knowledgeable about UK child support law and policies could answer.
If it were in the US, there would be an arrangement made, if you couldn't raise the money now, to garnish a percentage of your wages, tax refunds, and any other income you receive. But the UK may do things differently.
---- In the US, for a case with this amount of arrears to be close would mean that the obligee did not seek to continue renewing the claim ever 24-48 months as provided by a particular state laws. As a result, the case is being archived. Though you may not be obligated to to pay it, it will still show as an unpaid debt on a credit report.
Do you have to pay child support if the child is in jail?
Good question! I'm not an attorney, but I should hope that child support is not required if the juvenile is vacationing at the State Hotel. I know that people do not get SSI while incarcerated. Check with an attorney, or with someone at Family Court in your state.
What do you do if you get child support papers and know your not the father of the child?
Ask for a paternity test. Most states require that one is taken to ensure the father is the one who the mother said he is. If your state does not require a paternity test, then I would suggest paying for one out of pocket so that you can take the results to the court hearing. If you are not the father and there are papers stating that there is a hearing then you should be able to fight the hearing and the paperwork.
Do fathers have legitimate reasons for refusing to pay child support?
some may sometimes. i am a child of divorced parents and my father makes more than my mom and still tries to fight paying child support. in his case no he has no legitimate reason. i think if a father is trying to fight paying his child support he should be thuroughly investigated as to why he believes he should be exempt from supporting the child he helped to create and is now leaving all responsibility with the mother.

When is a child an adult in the state of Florida?
Well, they think it's age 18, but in reality, it's age 24 for females, and age 30 for males. Christ was 30 before he was mature enough to leave home.
Is joint custody a new phenomenon?
No, although it was rare in the past. Divorced families in times past sometimes worked out arrangements that were equivalent to modern joint custody (Ricci, 1981). For example, the Maryland Court of Appeals considered a case in 1934 in which the child had approximately equal time with each parent, although the term joint custody had not yet been invented. Joint custody began to increase in the late 1960s and 1970s, as courts found maternal preference laws to violate the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law (Roth, 1976). [This answer was excerpted from "Questions and Answers About Joint Custody" by Rick Kuhn.] References: Ricci, I., Mom's House, Dad's House. Macmillan, 1981. Roth, A. The tender years presumption in child custody disputes. Journal of Family Law, Vol. 15, 1976.

Child support liens on real estate property in kansas?
Kansas can only place a lien on certain things for back child support. They can place a lien on any types of insurance and they can place a hold on the income taxes.
What happens if you owe child support however the child is now an adult?
You still owe the back support. Once the child reaches the age of majority (as defined by the support order) there will be no continuing obligation.
Yes, if the court approves the agreement as being in the best interests of the child[ren].
The life insurance proceeds are owed to the beneficiary(s), regardless of parental rights.
Do you still pay child support after you appeal child support order?
Of course. Appealing a child support doesn't have any affect on the existing support order. You must obey the order until the court has issued a new order, which is not likely. Think about it: When a murderer appeals his conviction he doesn't just walk out of jail a free man.
Yes, but it is a common tactic used by mothers and in 21 years, I have never seen one charged with a crime over it. They use everything from allegations of domestic violence to child sexual abuse, sometimes resulting in the father dying in prison. Last July, the California Governor commuted the sentence of a father at the request of his children, because this was a tactic used by their mother and he refused to back down. No one would listen to the children at the time. Even commuted, he is still required to file as a sex offender.
What if you give up parental rights but are still getting charged for child support?
You cannot give up the rights without the approval of the court, which would have addressed the child support issue, but it would not have alleviated any arrears. see link
None, even if you lived in the same country. Only the court can grant you rights, in this case, a Canadian court, but an American court will handle child support.
