Someone who believes s/he is the wrong person should file an appeal of the child support order. However, keep in mind that unless the order was based on false evidence, the time to appeal is typically rather short. If no appeal is filed or an appeal is not timely filed, the courts will lack jurisdiction to determine whether the wrong person has been ordered to pay support.

Actually, under the 1986 Child Support Enforcement Act, all orders were to include garnishments. However, the poor accounting habits of the states made this nearly impossible to achieve.

However, as a responsible father you should do your best to see she completes her education and it may be best, if you wish to do this, to negotiate with her directly (as she is now an adult) about how you will support, rather than continuing to pay for her through her mother.

In general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. Whether or not the other parent/child receives public assistance is not relevant to this calculation. If the amount of support received is less than the public assistance grant, the State will retain the child support as reimbursement. If support exceeds the grant, the grant will be discontinued and the support will be forwarded to the other parent.

If there was an order in place, it's enforceable - there's no statute of limitations on collecting past-due child support. However, the State will intervene in order to be reimbursed for assistance issued (but not food stamps). If no order was ever entered, it's too late now unless the child is severely handicapped.

Child protective services does no decide if a parent is unfit. A judge will decide that. Child protective services can and will however, help the judge to decide by presenting any evidence they have found that may prove the parent unfit.

There are many different types of careers in dentistry. Other then pursuing a career as a dentist, you can also work behind the scenes as a dental assistant, dental office manager or hygienist.

* Although it may sound strange to your ears it's best you let them call you by your first name rather than put 'Aunt' before it because it will be confusing. If the children are small give them time and you may be pleasantly surprised they may call you 'mom or mommy.' It's happened before.

This depends on the judge, there's no clear requirement. Is he appealing the denial? Has he filed a child support modification? see links below

Child support has nothing to do with the child's name. Just because you pay support, the mother is not obligated to give the child your last name. Many people feel that the child will be more comfortable having the same last name as the custodial parent.

Small Claims is for general matters - there is an office of the court that specifically handles child support matters, so that is a better approach than small claims court. Child support matters are handled by the Domestic Relations office of the Family Division of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The Domestic Relations office can help with establishing paternity, filing a petition for support, and enforcing the support order. If you are owed child support payments, go to the Domestic Relations office instead of filing a small claims case, so you can get help in filling out forms and general procedural matters. You can call the office at (215) 686-9106, or find out more information online by visiting the Philadelphia Domestic Relations related link.

no, child support is based on the income of both parties. Where is the disabled parent going to get the extra money. If he gets SSI disablity the children will be entitled to a check as well. If he works in addition to disability income you may get more, however, the Court isn't going to take more than 40% of his earnings, and less if he has other minor children to support, or significant medical needs. But for the grace of god go we!
