Child Support

Do you think that the well-being of your child is a bunch of BS?????

No, judges do not correspond with petitioners. The proper procedure would be to file a motion to modify or amend in the court where the original order was issued. Such issues are best handled by a qualified attorney, although one may represent themselves if they so choose. Contact the clerk of the court where the original order was mandated for information on filing procedures. Please be advised, officers of the court cannot give legal advice nor comment on a case beyond that which is considered public information.

With a great deal of difficulty!

The venue will likely enter an order in your absence. You might not like it.

In my experience, if the obligor, usually the father, misses the hearing, a default order will be enter on behalf of the obligee, but if the obligee, usually the mother, misses the hearing, a continuance is scheduled.

For disabled children, the courts often require support past age 18. If the child is a ward, the State might seek support to reimburse that expense.

The mother can sign her name, not the father's name.

They can take it all. EVen if the winning plaintiff owes his lawyer, the court can transfer the entire award to the child support agency.

Either the other parent (if still alive and wants them) or the closest relative. The Child should be able to have some say though.

All the parents of any children of the deceased parent can file for a portion of the amount. They each get a check. The more parents filing, the smaller the amount each gets.

Yes... But usually the courts will use wage garnishment as their first action. Either way, a person would have to be significantly behind on payments and/or not attempting to financially support the child.

No

The Child in Need of Services offers legal support for parents or guardians of troubled youth. Children under the age of 17 are subject to being reported by parents or school administrators into the CHINS program.

No. In fact she just may hire a lawyer to get more money out of you. That's how greedy American women are. They would love to see you suffer and make you out to be the bad guy...especially knowing the majority of the issues were caused by them and their greed. I advise that you go after some of her winnings. I'm positive that if the roles were reversed, to include you having any children in your sole possession living with you, the courts would award her part of your winnings although she has no responsibility. Don't be made...our court of law in some aspects is very antiquated and women inthis country are materialistic and extreamly greedy.

Depends on circumstances. If the child is underage, then the money goes to a guardian. If the child is of the age of majority, in states where it extends beyond that point, or if there are arrears still owing, then yes.

Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year.

The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent. Time spent in Day Care and/or School is deducted from the total.

First, this would only apply in cases where support obligations extend in the secondary school years. See below for list.

If this is the case, the problem that this regulation does not address is the circumstance asked about. In this case, it must be reliant specifically on what is stated in the child support order. If not addressed there, then a motion to modify the order may be necessary.

However, I seem to remember an IRS ruling in the 90s that addressed this in which the child support obligor was awarded the deduction as he was providing more then 50% of the financial support for the child.

Yes, it can.

Yes. It is the parents responsibility to provide support to a child until they are 18, or 19 and in school. If that child has given birth it is of no consequence in terms of child support unless the child was legally emancipated. Having a baby does not legally emancipate a minor.

Termination of parental rights often does not terminate child support obligations. All it does is terminate the right to visit your child and have any say-so in their lives.

Having one's signature on the birth certificate is a good first step, but it will not automatically give custody to that man. The court will look at all of the circumstances of the case.

No, that's ridiculous.

That is aquestion for a lawer. the 38 year old son would have to be a full time student from age 17. Child support would have to have been granted before 18 th birthday. Call a lawer and ask .

You'll need to go to court to obtain a Qualifying Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) which will allow the back child support to be drawn from the owing parents 401k. Get a lawyer who knows how this process works, especially if you are dealing with multiple states.

This is the kind of question that a lawyer in your town should answer. That's what lawyers do and that's how one of them can help you.

I am a divorced mother of two from Minnesota. The Statute for family law is pretty clear that parenting time and child support are not all inclusive, meaning if the court awards paranting time to the non-custodial parent and orders the non custodial parent to pay child support but child support is not being paid that parent can still exercise their parenting time. Recommendation: It is not a good child focused decision to deny parenting time to the non custodial parent just because that parent refuses to pay child support. Work with your county child support office for collection of arrears. The child(ren) should not be put in the middle of personal grown up stuff like that. The child(ren) have the right to see and spend time with both parents.

It's impossible to agree with everyone, all the time. Otherwise you wouldn't need your own mind. The best minds, however, remain open to learning, stay respectful, listen as well as share, then stick to what they believe is right. Proudly and respectfully.

It would be necessary for her to file a civil suit in the county court where the non compliant spouse resides. The existence of a divorce decree is proof that alimony is owed but it is not given the length of time that has expired, valid for enforcing the support that was ordered.
