Can you drop a petition for child support?
Yes, provided on is not receiving state assistance. However, it is not in the best interest of the obligor parent to allow it as it can leave them open to costly legal maneuvers at some later time. The obligor can file for their own voluntary order. see links below

In reality the above response is incorrect. Japan has no process in which to uphold any decision regarding family court decisions, hence - no way to collect child support. There are also no means for instituting child visitation. Prior to make any decisions that may affect your child's ability to see and know their parents please read - http://www/crnjapan.net

Can you sue for child support if your over 18 and your mother never filed for it in Virginia?
No, not likely. If you are over 18 yrs. of age, you are considered an adult, and child support is exactly what it is...."child-support" for CHILDREN, not adults!
Get help thru soial service, child protection whatever it's called where you live.If she isn't caring for herself then she isn't caring for her unborn baby. Please don't think you can't do something! There are no laws that say a mother must adjust her lifestyle to protect her unborn. However, when the child is born if he/she is found to be suffering from malnutrition, FAS, a chemical addiction, or other malady, the mother could face neglect and/or endangerment charges. The infant would be removed from the custody of the mother and CPS would be notified. The outcome of the investigation would decide what if any action would be taken. A grandparent(s) can petition the court for custody of the child after he/she has been born, not before.
What happens if the father refuses to acknowledge paternity?
A DNA test can be taken to prove it. The natural mother can order it to be done. If a judgment has already been ordered for child support, then you will have to appeal with your lawyer and have a DNA test to prove you are not the father.
Only the court or the state's department of child support enforcement can order someone to take a paternity test.
A paternity/parentage suit is treated the same as any lawsuit.
Before the unmarried mother can receive child support she must file a suit in the state circuit court in her county of residence.
The male named as the alledged father will be served with a summons with the court designation, date and time he is to appear.
The defendant can appear in court with or without legal counsel and contest the suit, in which case a paternity test will be ordered.
If the defendant fails to request a continuance or does not appear at the hearing the court will enter a default judgment for child support.
Will a court take into account your new spouse when determining child custody?
Yes, either favorably or unfavorably. If your new spouse is able to provide a safe, non-abusive environment for your child or children and will contribute financially and emotionally to their well-being, that would be favorable. If your new spouse is unemployed or has a criminal record, that may not bode favorably.
The court's decision will normally favor the parent who will best maintain stability in the child's life. The way each parent lives can be an important factor when a court decides custody issues. In any given case, the judge may consider one person's lifestyle to be more in the best interest of the child than the other's.
How do you gain guardianship of a child if both mother and father consent to sign over rights?
You go to the courts or an attorney, and file for legal gardian of the child, with the mother and father's written permision. Then, you become the gardian. Or foster the child then adopt.
How do you assess child support when mother is paid cash?
Whether she is paid cash or not there should be papers on how much she earns a month. She still have to pay taxes so her income should be no secret. And when she gets the money I would think she would have to sign a receipt. When in court she would have to show these papers. The child support is usually based on the income so cash or not there should be no difference.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

I doubt that most child support payees are equipped to handle debit card payments. Do not give the money to the obligee unless you want it to be considered a gift - send it to the State disbursement unit or the courts.
